Re:Re: The translation of 漢字 (Was: English editing)

I prefered to Hanzi at begining because the terminology Hanzi was already defined in a national standard (GB XXXX-19XX, I do not remember the detail number), but I may change my mind after reading message from Ishida san.
 
FYI:
The ISO/IEC 10646 Universal Coded Character Set uses:
Hanzi for whole China
Kanji for Japan
Hanja for N. and S. Korea
ChuNom for Vietnam

Yes, but kanji *is* the english translation for the japanese term and is
used widely in english.  Hanzi is not widely used in english. It's a
translation oddity ;-)

And i think there was no real equivalent in english for hanmen.

This is not to say that the Japanese doc is perfect. Probably far from
it.  But i think we can account for those terms as I describe.

Ok. So who else do we need to check this with before replacing 'hanzi'
with 'han character' throughout?
