I don't think that's the same, because e.g. in French, e, é, è, and ê are all used, with different pronunciations.

- cryptonector 7y agoNot just different pronunciations. ê isn't about pronunciation but about indicating that "there used to be an 's' after this e". French written w/o circumflex accents doesn't change in pronunciation, not really, nor -mostly- in meaning, but it does look very annoying to French speakers as well as to native speakers of other Romance languages: the reason is that that reminder is in fact useful for translation. I'm guessing Han unification is at least annoying like losing circumflex accents would be.
