Pretty sure Japan's addressing system is also responsible for several kanji in Unicode where nobody is quite sure how they go there.

- polm23 6y agoSome of the ghost characters do appear to originate from place names, though that doesn't really have anything to do with the addressing system or any postal authority. Of the ones I checked more closely, like 膤, they tend to refer to things that wouldn't necessarily show in an address, like a hill or something. https://www.wdic.org/w/CUL/%E8%86%A4 https://www.wdic.org/w/CUL/%E8%86%A4 https://www.dampfkraft.com/ghost-characters.html https://www.dampfkraft.com/ghost-characters.html
