Re: [idn] Question for the Kanji & Hanja cognosentee

["Bruce Thomson" <bthomson@fm-net.ne.jp>]

SC are not used in Kanji, and the folding is not particularly
useful for Japan. In practice it would mean that registering
a Kanji (TC) name in Japan would block the SC equivalent
from being registered in China, and vice versa. From the
Japanese perspective, excepting big multinational corporations,
this is counterproductive, as it just reduces the number
of names available.
