> As far as I recall, the controversy over Unicode Han Unification was over the very idea that a Han ideograph written in one style is fundamentally the same plain-text abstract character as the ideograph written in another style The idea that a character has a dozen glyphs and still be the same character has been the majority opinion reflected in dictionaries as early as the Tang dynasty. The mainstream linguistic opinion in modern China has also long concluded that multiple glyphs can be grouped into the same character, and standardized orthographies are also the national/regional policies in China. Also, the Japanese extensively unified glyphs in the earlier Japanese Industrial Standards. It is rather obvious that the initial pushback against Han unification was by far more than the linguistic or technical issues. The current pushback is largely based on the inability to accurately reproduce a certain glyph the author intends. -- GitHub Notification of comment by hfhchan Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1710#issuecomment-371037346 using your GitHub account
