霊芝

What is the difference between this spelling and 霊芝, which is used at Japanese Wikipedia? 24.29.228.33 06:49, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

靈 is the traditional unsimplified character known as kyūjitai in Japanese, 霊 is the shinjitai form simplified for use in Japanese after World War II, 灵 is the simplified form for use in Chinese in the PRC. There are other variants too. Here's all of them:

灵 [7075] 霊 [970A] 霛 [971B] 靈 [9748, F9B3]

Thanks, so will we need a 霊芝 entry? 24.29.228.33 09:37, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

That spelling is in WWWJDIC so yes we will need such an entry. — hippietrail 10:20, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
