Unicode does not collect glyphs but characters (and cf. section 2.1 of UTR
#17, http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr17/). This is a fundamental
property of the Unicode standard. I am everything but a CJK expert, but
along the same idea, the Han characters were unified because they meant the
same thing (semantics) not because of glyph similarities.
