Section needs to be revised

Regarding the section Traditional characters that may cause problems displaying, while it is true that the 62 kyūjitai kanji mentioned map to CJK compatibility ideographs when converted from JIS X 0213, this is only done to preserve round-trip compatibility with the set which would otherwise be lost if the characters were mapped directly to their appropriate CJK unified ideographs. In the context of original unicode data, we should instead be using variation sequences to get the kyūjitai kanji. I have already made a few edits to the page to this effect, however the article now needs to be updated to reflect the fact that normalization will not merge variation sequences and that, provided an appropriate font is available, there shouldn't be any issues displaying these kanji.

Overlap between JA kyūjitai and Traditional Chinese?

Would it be accurate to describe kyūjitai as broadly equivalent to Traditional Chinese, with regard to kanji forms? ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 06:57, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
