Abstract

The proposed property is designed to link equivalent Han characters used in different regions that are encoded under different codepoints in Unicode. It is inspired by the kZVariant property present in the Unihan database but attempts to improve on it by describing how the characters are related to one another.

Motivation

As of July 2018, up to 1016 items with the description "CJK (hanzi/kanji/hanja) character" have been created. Upon closer inspection, most of these characters belong to the set of Kyōiku kanji and are unique. However, two Han characters which are semantically related, (Q54552723)("") and (Q3594925)("") have been created with no indication of their relationship with one another. The former is a Japanese shinjitai while the latter is a simplified Chinese character, both of which are related by their kyūjitai/traditional form "". A property is needed to indicate this relationship. KevinUp (talk) 01:02, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
