Editing Han unification (section)

==Examples of some non-unified Han ideographs==
In some cases, often where the changes are the most striking, Unicode has encoded variant characters, making it unnecessary to switch between fonts or <code>lang</code> attributes. However, some variants with arguably minimal differences get distinct codepoints, and not every variant with arguably substantial changes gets a unique codepoint. As an example, take a character such as {{Lang|zh|入}} (U+5165), for which the only way to display the variants is to change font (or <code>lang</code> attribute) as described in the previous table. On the other hand, for {{Lang|zh-Hant|內}} (U+5167), the variant of {{Lang|zh-Hans|内}} (U+5185) gets a unique codepoint. For some characters, like {{Lang|zh-Hant|兌}}/{{Lang|zh-Hans|兑}} (U+514C/U+5151), either method can be used to display the different glyphs. In the following table, each row compares variants that have been assigned different code points. For brevity, note that [[shinjitai]] variants with different components will usually (and unsurprisingly) take unique codepoints (e.g., {{lang|ja|氣/気}}). They will not appear here nor will the simplified Chinese characters that take consistently simplified radical components (e.g., {{lang|zh-Hant|紅}}/{{lang|zh-Hans|红}}, {{lang|zh-Hant|語}}/{{lang|zh-Hans|语}}).<ref name="UnihanLookup"/> This list is not exhaustive.
