Really? I thought the idea of Han Unification was that the duplicated characters between the CJK languages all map to the same unicode codepoints.

- chairface 17y agoYes that's true, but even so, you can't fit all those characters into 8 bits, which is basically the point of that first section. Also, I don't see how mapping to the same codepoint would mean that Chinese has thousands of characters, while Japanese does not. They just share many of those thousands in common.
