Many of characters in the CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement block are quite common Chinese characters, or variants thereof. You could try and build Chinese sentences with these characters.

We are considering adding sample-text strings in some of our fonts. (In 
OpenType, the ‘name’ table can take sample-text strings using name ID 19.) One 
particular issue we have is the Simsun-ExtB and MingLiU-ExtB fonts, which have 
CJK characters from plane 2 only.

Background:
The Simsun-ExtB and MingLiU-ExtB fonts are meant to complement the Simsun and 
MingLiU fonts: the combined glyph count exceeds the number of glyphs that can 
be added in a single OpenType font, and so the “ExtB” fonts are used to contain 
all of the Plane 2 characters that are supported. For example, the Simsun font 
supports 28738 BMP characters, and no plane 2 characters, while Simsun-ExtB 
supports the Basic Latin block from the BMP plus 47,293 plane 2 characters. The 
combined glyph count exceeds 64K, so can’t go into a single font.
