cjk character

post #3094830

CJK character is an internationalized term for any of the characters used in the writing of the Chinese (hanzi), Japanese (kanji) and Korean (hanja) languages.

This tag should be used only when a CJK character appears in isolation. It does not apply to any instance of Chinese text, Japanese text or Korean text. Most CJK characters are written identically across two or more languages, which makes it impossible to determine their nationality in this situation.

This tag should not be used for bopomofo, kana or hangul characters.

Type of CJK character

简体字(=簡體字) - Simplified Chinese Characters(SC) - Used in China and Singapore
正體字(=繁体字,旧字体,正字) - Traditional Chinese Characters(TC) - Used in Taiwan, Hongkong and Macau, both Korea
新字体 - New Chinese Characters(NC) - Used in Japan only
These character types are similar, and could not always be distinguished. (国 and 国)

New year format

Eastern Asia uses "六十甲子/Sexagenary cycle" for writing year.
ex1) year 1984 is 甲子年, and next year 1985 is 乙丑年
ex2) year 2026 is 丙午年. so this year is Red(丙) Horse(午). Color is not used in both China
