Some CN glyphs are representing in HK/TW style

[jimmymasaru]

In theory all the ideographs in BMP should have a CN style as China's GB18030 covers almost all of the BMP, and also some are in non-BMP. I noticed that in the CN (and also JP & KR) mapping, there are 214 characters in the BMP's CJK blocks are mapped to an HK or TW regional style and most of them are distinguishable from their CN style. And these CN glyphs have been removed from the version I am using (2.004). I believe these CN style glyphs should be recovered and CN, JP & KR mapping should point to the CN glyphs.

If there are not enough slots left, maybe we should consider merging some non-essential regional differences like ⻌, ⺮, 䒑 (as in 豆), 𠂆 between CN and JP? And we can also keep only the Japanese style of Japanese dingbats like ㍿. I believe those have been suggested in other issues.

These non-essential regional differences also include the tops of 金, 合, 余, etc..

[Marcus98T]

Yeah, I know that at least this design differences will have to be once again discussed with the design teams, Arphic and Changzhou SinoType, according to my friend who also talked about unifying the 辶 component, and we may not know what the outcome is for quite a while.

I even wanted to unify the 戶 component between JP/KR and CN/TW/HK but the typeface designer said no, according to Dr Lunde years ago. Maybe this time the design teams will listen based on pragmatism? I would have preferred the JP forms of 戶, but in my honest opinion, TW forms of 戶 work too and is cleaner. P.S. If they finally decide to unify 戶, based on the TW forms, I suggest to keep the JP shape, balance and aesthetics, just remove only that decoration in 戶, map to the TW locale and then remove the TW glyphs afterwards.

Unfortunately my immature attitude at that time about wanting them to copy another commercial typeface might have discouraged Dr Lunde and the Adobe team from unifying the 人 component. Nevertheless, this is still up for discussion and whether they (of course without Dr Lunde) want to change course and follow or not, is up to them, not us.

And yes, some of the CN style glyphs that were removed in v2 are "out-of-scope" JP glyphs, which could be restored as well. Maybe the other unreleased JP glyphs (which never made it to v1) might also come to light?

I am sure my friend also prepared a PDF list of removed CN and JP glyphs for you to refer to, in case you haven't heard. If you're interested, I might upload that PDF.

UPDATE: Just a few minor changes to my wording.
