That's a similar problem as Prince's name during the time he had a symbol as name for which the workaround was just to call it "symbol".
More broadly speaking, there are some true facts cited in this post, but the basic premise is horseshit, and the whole of it should be retracted.
As Andrew West has pointed out, these characters were not "made up" as they are real characters attested in Chinese texts. From a Unicode perspective, none of them is a "ghost character" at all.
