I haven't surveyed Unicode, but here's my impression. > A friend who is familiar with East Asia And Its Issues tells me that > Taiwan uses the same characters as mainland China, except that the > mainland did a simplification of the written forms a few years back. > So the Taiwan/China/Japan distinctions are a font issue. Is it such simple? I don't know about Taiwanese and Chinese, but in japanese, we did simplifications on some characters and it's not one-to-one mapping: sometimes several different characters are mapped onto one simplified character. And occasionary people need to use old-style characters, too, so JIS code included both old-style and new style characters. I wish I could put some useful info here. I'll ask some friends about this issue. -- Shiro KAWAI Square USA Inc. Honolulu Studio R&D division #"The most important things are the hardest things to say" --- Stephen King
