Chinese font[edit]

The article suggests that is used in China, but as I just searched simplified Chinese at Google I have found used in simplified Chinese as well. We should reconfirm these.--Jusjih 14:42, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't specify a language code, you will get the default shape. Google doesn't distinguish them because they have the same code. There are some characters of the same code with different shapes, such as (traditional) and (Chinese simplified), (Japanese simplified) and (Chinese simplified), etc. - TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 05:03, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have added usage note about this. --Octahedron80 (talk) 12:06, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Number of strokes differs in traditional versus simplified[edit]

The number of strokes in Chinese is 10 for traditional and 9 for simplified even though the character has the same Unihan entry for both. It looks like the template cannot handle that, correct? How should we reflect that correctly in this entry? Right now it lists the number of strokes for “Chinese” as 9, which is not accurate for traditional Chinese.

Thank you for pointing this out. The problem has been resolved. The character has 10 strokes in traditional Chinese and Japanese; 9 strokes in simplified Chinese. KevinUp (talk) 22:49, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
