@hongminhee random question about languages; i know that traditional chinese characters have been simplified multiple times to improve literacy of the masses. i know of simplified chinese, japanese kanji, and most recently learned of korean hanja. are they all mutually intelligible to readers? are the simplifications obvious to those who stick to traditional characters like taiwanese? it's not something i've seen much written about

@epocsquadron It varies from character to character, but they are generally recognizable from each other. This is because simplified Chinese characters are also the way handwriting has been written for a long time.

@hongminhee 감사합니다

That's a very helpful insight.
