Talk:Traditional Chinese characters

About the MAP edit

I found wrong information at the Map and its explanation. (in English page)

(1) in the map, South Korea is yellow green with Japan together here. But South Korea has to be changed as Yellow with North Korea. (2) At the below of the Map, Yellow includes Korea. I personally like the expression of "Korea", but think it has to be North Korea and South Korea here. Now those are two countries. I hope it would be been expressed as "Korea" someday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylenoh (talkcontribs) 08:11, 5 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Exact definition edit

LVTW2, yes, to be clear, Hong Kong's character set is another traditional character standard. Singapore used to have a distinct simplified character standard. I don't understand how this article is supposed to be coherent if it doesn't have a modern, narrower sense which agrees with that of its dual: that these two articles are about modern standards. This terminology did not begin being used until the introduction of simplified characters, the category of 'traditional characters' did not exist. Orthodox and variant character forms existed, and those are categories along different lines than now exists between traditional and simplified.
It makes no sense to me to give this article the entire scope of Regular script or Jiu zixing, those are also independent articles with distinct scopes. These distinctions and associations should be pointed out in the text of the article, of course. You may as well just merge this article with one of those if going on the looser definition.
