FWIW many of the unified characters under Han unification are considered "wrong" specifically in Japan (in other CJK countries folks seem to be more lax). From what I understand the feeling is as if you started writing `s` as `ſ` in English.
I'm not very sure of this but it seems like the Japanese characters mostly stayed the same after branching off of Hanzi usage at various points many centuries ago (more than a millenium ago, actually), whereas in China these characters evolved.
- emodendroket 9y agoTo the extent this is true I'd say it's because Korean people only occasionally use Chinese characters and the default is almost always to display Chinese variants, and not because Japanese people are uniquely particular.
