Talk:溍

zh-forms Box

@Wyang Would it be possible for you to insert font lang="zh-hant" and font lang="zh-hans" to Module:zh-forms so that the characters 溍 and 溍 (both encoded under the same code point) can be displayed correctly? Thanks. KevinUp (talk) 11:53, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

@KevinUp Lol, added. I had to remove class="Hani" so that the appropriate trad/simp fonts can be displayed. I hope that is the correct/proper way to do it. Wyang (talk) 12:10, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

@Wyang: Thanks. Problem solved. KevinUp (talk) 12:15, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

@Wyang, @Zcreator alt, @Justinrleung, @Suzukaze-c Hi. After the most recent edit in Module:zh-forms [1], the zh-forms box isn't displaying the proper traditional and simplified forms based on the language tag. Also, I think it would be preferable to add in such characters manually rather than letting it do so automatically. If you look carefully in revision 49664286 [2], some characters added to the unified_char list such as 芔 (huì), 郮 (zhōu) show no significant difference between traditional and simplified forms in the Unicode charts. I don't think it is necessary to split between traditional and simplified forms for characters that show only minor cosmetic differences (mostly in the stroke direction) such as 今/今, 氐/氐, 令/令, 艾/艾, 叟/叟, 丰/丰, 犮/犮, 壬/壬, 呈/呈. Instead, these differences should be noted in the translingual section (either as alternative forms or in their respective ids). KevinUp (talk) 13:08, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

I think it would be much better to add something such as "zh-forms|s=t" to characters such as 珊/珊 (U+73CA), 琤/琤 (U+7424), 猺/猺 (U+733A), 瘟/瘟 (U+761F), 莒/莒 (U+8392) as these characters are special exceptions that have been unified when compared with characters such as 姍 / 姗 (U+59CD)/姗 (U+59D7) and 睜 / 睁 (zhēng) (U+775C)/睁 (zhēng) (U+7741) and 搖 / 摇 (yáo) (U+6416)/摇 (yáo) (U+6447) and 溫 / 温 (wēn) (U+6EAB)/温 (wēn) (U+6E29) and 宮 / 宫 (gōng) (U+5BAE)/宫 (gōng) (U+5BAB) that have been disunified. It should also be noted that Han unification is slightly inconsistent, with derived characters of 冊 (U+518A)/册 (U+518C), 爭 (U+722D)/争 (U+4E89), 䍃 (U+4343), 𥁕 (U+25055)/昷 (U+6637), 呂 (U+5442)/吕 (U+5415) for example, not unified consistently. Some frequently used characters are split into separate code points whereas rarely used characters are unified. I would suggest adding "zh-forms|s=t" to such anomalies when encountered.
