Oh I want to experience this too
Just explained CJK unification to another Japanese friend. Her response: "Fuck."

one of the excuses I've seen for unification (proficient readers being able to read the variants anyway) fails badly for learners. also I don't think it would have been so bad if language tags were actually used and not deprecated

Unicode: we unified all of the CJK characters because we think they're really all just the same thing also Unicode: we have separate characters for Latin and Greek "A" because they're different even though they look exactly the same

I am studying the Chinese language, and I don't understand that, and why it's a problem.

It's a problem because you can't write Chinese, or Japanese, or Korean in Unicode. You can only write an ambiguous set of characters that will only look like the language it's intended to be if it is displayed using the right font. Otherwise it will be wrong.

Works great until you have applications showing user content Really appreciate Twitter doing language classification on everyone's tweets just to add a lang tag Meanwhile in Discord *screams in Chinese with half the characters rendered in a Japanese font*
