Super interesting.<p>In question 12, you can get a little pedantic about the different versions of the character for national.<p>The following 3 characters are all “National”<p>- 囯 modern, simplified Chinese version<p>- 国 modern, somewhat simplified Japanese version<p>- 國 traditional, Chinese version<p>As noted several times, different fonts can carry different looking versions of characters, but to make things even more complicated, same Unicode code points can refer to different versions of the same character! Let that sink in for a minute.<p>Imagine if the codepoint for “a” could refer to both “a” and “A”!<p>This makes it really difficult to discuss minute differences between characters without having to refer to pictures of them.
