![]() The issue of the glyph used by the screen/printer/browser for a given character (code point) is a result of the way different fonts map the same Unicode character to different glyphs. A character (single Unicode code point) may be represented by different glyphs in different writing traditions. Unicode uses a unified database for CJK characters called Unihan. This is not an Ubuntu problem (or a problem with any operating system), but stems from the way Unicode is designed. You need to be able to recognize differences between glyphs from the two languages to see this problem. Steps to reproduce: Install fonts/support for both Japanese and Chinese, and then type Japanese character. Others that seem to support Japanese/Chinese ![]() (This problem is not about input methods.) This happens in all applications: libreoffice, browsers, gedit, terminal etc. Not for every single Japanese character, but presumably for ones that the system thinks has a corresponding glyph in Chinese. The problem is that Japanese text shows as Chinese glyphs. ![]() I have language support for both Chinese and Japanese installed (and want to keep it that way - I do know though that the problem can be "resolved" by uninstalling Chinese fonts, I have experimented with that). This seems to be a long-standing Ubuntu problem, I've experienced it since years ago if I remember correctly. ![]()
