@adamrice@c.im I don’t even remember what I was originally thinking with that string. Just changed it to a few characters Wikipedia shows as an example. I hope this is better.

@mwichary@mastodon.online Perhaps I misunderstand what you're going for here (WRT the Unified Han region of Unicode). It does show minor stylistic differences between traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean; it doesn't show the bigger changes between traditional characters, simplified Chinese, etc. These are sort of the opposite of homographs: they mean the same thing but look different. So, using my previous example, 间 occupies code point 95F4, and 間 occupies 9563, but they both mean the same thing. Admittedly, that doesn't seem to be mapped out in the Unicode spec, and there are some many-to-one relationships between traditional characters and simplified characters.
