This category contains CJKV characters which were simplified in both Japan and in China, but whose simplified forms differ. Each section should contain 3 characters ? traditional, Japanese, and simplified, in that order ? indexed under the traditional form.
Chinese
,
Japanese
,
Korean
, and
Vietnamese
all use, or used in the past, the same
characters
originally devised in China for their writing systems.
Japan simplified many characters after World War II in 1947. The simplified shapes are called
新字?
(
shinjitai
)
, and the old forms which are no longer in regular use are called
?字?
(
ky?jitai
)
.
The People’s Republic of China also simplified many characters in the 1950s and 1960s. The Chinese simplified characters are called
??字
(
ji?nt?zi
)
. Singapore uses the same simplified characters as the PRC, but the older traditional forms called
正體字
/
正?字
(
zhengt?zi
,
“
proper character set
”
)
or
繁體字
/
繁?字
(
fant?zi
,
“
complex character set
”
)
continue to be used in
Hong Kong
,
Macao
,
Taiwan
, by
overseas Chinese
communities, and ? when Chinese characters are used at all ? in Korean text, where they are called
漢字
(
hanja
)
.
The PRC chose to simplify some characters in the same way as Japan had done earlier, but usually simplified them in a different way, which may be indicated using this category.

in Japan, see instead
