Dear Wang Wei, I’m arriving in LA on the evening of Saturday 11 and would be happy to be involved with a discussion like that.

I hope it’s helpful. Regards, Chris. == S[slide]3: The example is an interesting one as the difficult characters are used in situations where U4E00 一 may cause confusion e.g. Banknotes. S4 Professor Zhang’s thoughts on what is a character (同源 etc., same sound/meaning/form) are relevant here. Q11 No, as the mappings at LGR level need to be the same. Yes, as the most liberal mapping (in this case CN) needs to be used when the local tables are different. If this causes large variant sets, more difficult individual solutions may be necessary. Q12 Yes. As long as the mappings are merged in the most liberal way. Q13 No. As the most liberal mapping needs to be used. Q14 Yes; it is a possible scenario. Although if 壹 were blocked in all the local tables, it could not have been registered. S8 1.2 Yes; there can be a single mapping. Compromises may be necessary if large variant sets are created. 1.3 No, each language/script can’t have its own mapping, but can have its own dispositions. No; I can’t think of one. Any suggestions? Q21 Under the P2.1 procedure, I think the KGP needs to be set up first and then have its proposal approved. Q22 The CN LGR is certainly at an advanced stage. S15 The JGP does seem to be saying that Old Character Forms and New Character Forms are not variants. I am not sure whether the JGP considers them separate characters. They are certainly not universally variants as with SC and TC. However, I have argued elsewhere that in individual names it is common for a name to prefer an Old Character Form as with 紀伊國屋 and 紀伊国屋. I call these lexical variants, as they only occur in certain names and could not happen if they were separate characters. S14 Note that on slide 3 KR has 壹 and 壱 as variants. I guess we do need to think more about the character level than the word level, although admittedly large number of examples may affect our thinking as with 紀伊國屋. I welcome corrections and additions.
