I don't think Chinese(C) Japanese(J) and Koean(K) should be called in one group, because those three are quite different language each other. I can read some of Hanji written by Chinese in a way of Japanese translated, however, many of modern Chinese Hanji different from Kanji we are using. For Korean character, I have no idea even those could be read somehow. So, please don't deal those three languages in a group. Kenji ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I think what he meant was 'characters from the Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs block(s)'.
I cannot say if kanji equals jiantizi/fantizi in real life usage;
my japanese is not good enough to quote Koujien.
