"Mangle" is an exaggeration. Japanese names will look correct after Han unification both to Japanese people on a Japanese computer and to Chinese people on a Chinese computer. (All other combinations fail.)
- lmm 5y ago> Japanese names will look correct after Han unification both to Japanese people on a Japanese computer and to Chinese people on a Chinese computer. Only if you are displaying them in a way that respects the computer's preferences (most websites and programs, especially American websites and programs, don't) and those preferences are set correctly. And certainly if you have text blocks that contain both Chinese and Japanese names you will always mangle at least one of them.
