	HAN UNIFICATION
		The Han unification refers to the process used by the authors of Unicode and the Universal Character Set to map multiple character sets of the CJK languages into a single set of unified glyphs.
		Opponents of Han unification state that it steamrollers over thousands of years of cultural tradition, misses many of the subtleties that are one of the most important features of these languages, and renders serious literature and academic research in these languages impossible.
		Proponents of Han unification state that the Unicode BMP set of unified characters is "good enough" for almost all everyday uses of the languages that use these scripts, that Unicode 3.1 greatly extends this repertoire for academic and literary needs, and that other encodings are also available for specialist academic purposes.

	Definition of Han unification
		Han unification is the process used by the authors of Unicode and the Universal Character Set to map multiple character sets of the CJK languages into a single set of unified characters.
		Opponents of Han unification state that it steamrolls over thousands of years of cultural tradition, misses many of the subtleties that are one of the most important features of these languages, and renders serious literature and academic research in these languages impossible.
		Proponents of Han unification point out that the unification process is in the hands of specialists from China, Korea, and Japan, and that the objections to unification of specific characters are made without regard to their histories.

		Much of the controversy surrounding Han unification is based on use of the distinction between the ideas of characters and glyphs, as defined in Unicode, and the related but distinct idea of graphemes.

	Internationalization Encyclopedia: : Han Unification
		In short, characters that have a "similar" shape and meaning in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and/or Vietnamese were a single Unicode code point, hence the idea of "Unification".
		The obvious advantage of this unification is to save space as well as being logical as after all these characters have the same history.
		The disavantage is that the exact character shape may be hard to determine we don't know which language it is (there may be variation even in a single language).

		The initial set of sources for Han encoding in Unicode laid end to end comprised 121,000 characters, but there were many repeats, and the final Unicode tally for all these after elimination of duplicates was 20,902.
		Han characters, however, are highly pictorial in nature.
		What is left for unification are characters representing the same thing but exhibiting no visual differences, or relatively minor differences such as different sequence for writing strokes, differences in stroke overshoot and protrusion, differences in contact and bend of strokes, differences in accent and termination of strokes, etc.

	Character Set List
		Unification was also made harder by the need to work out which JIS X 0208 characters were really unique and which were just very eccentric forms of ordinary characters.
		This prevented the unification of those characters that had separate variants in JIS X 0208, and even in JIX X 0213 there are code points (61, in fact) assigned to what most commentators say are characters already in Unicode, but which now have to be given their own codepoints for round-trip compatibility.
		In fact, Japanese opinions during the late 80s and early 90s were deeply divided on the subject of whether Han unification would be a good thing, but they were united in their opinion of the existing JIS standards.

	Han Unification
		Han Ideogram (Kanji in Japanese, Hanji in Chinese, and Hanja in Korean) has a unique property of variants or itaiji (異体字) in Japanese.
		However, there is a new Japanese local standard JIS X 0213 which is developed after initial version of Unicode and, strictly speaking, unification rule of JIS X 0213 and Unicode is partly incompatible for less than 200 ideographs.
		However, because it strongly depends on culture which variant is mainly used or (when multiple variants are used) how to choose proper variant in various situation, this variant rule can bring a real implementation problem when the same unification rule is applied to an international character code standard.

		The Han empire began in 206 B.C. when Liu Bang, prince of Han, defeated the Qin army in the valley of Wei.
		Economic expansion, changing relationships with the people of the steppes, strengthening of the palace at the expense of the civil service, weakening of the state's hold on the peasantry, and the rise of the families of the rich and the gentry were all factors that led to the adoption of Confucian ideals..
		The descendents of the Han dynasty eventually joined in the uprising, and, it was the armies of these nobles, under the leadership of Liu Hsiu, who killed Wang Mang in 22A.D. The fighting continued until 25 A.D., when Liu Hsiu became the emperor.

		And then, the December 1990 draft of the Unicode Han character set differed from the first draft in that is used the principle of KangXi radical-stroke ordering of the characters.
		As a result of the agreement to merge the Unicode Standard and ISO 10646, the Unicode Consortium agreed to adopt the unified Han character repertoire that was to be developed by the CJK-JRG.

		Ideally, Han characters could be encoded by their radicals rather than as entire ideographs; this would make it easier to do sorts and to compose characters on the fly.

		This "textualization in Han times,"—as Michael Nylan’s contribution is entitled—provided the state with standards to define ideological normativity, to select scholars and statesmen, and to exert social control.
		Whereas Ru traditions prior to Han had centered on methods of ritual practice in small communities, with supplemental text-based learning mainly a function of the perceived need to draw upon a wide variety of exemplary models from history, Ru traditions by Eastern Han stressed the acquisition of textual learning to an unprecedented degree.
		For example, in Western Han the term jia was not employed in the same sense as in later imperial history: it did not mean, in other words, a scholastic lineage claiming canonical authority as a result of the intact transmission of authoritative texts and associated teachings from one generation to the next.
