The Unihan Variant Dictionary software enables the user to obtain a list of variants for every Unihan (CJK) character, in addition to other functionalities. This summary demonstrates the software's features in a concise 50-word format.
If you're familiar with the Unicode standard, you may have heard of "Unihan variants." Essentially, these are alternate versions of characters found in the Unified Han, or Unihan, section of Unicode. For those who don't know, Han characters have been used in East Asia for thousands of years, and different forms of the same character have evolved and persisted over time and across regions. In fact, new forms of Han characters continue to be invented and used even today.
The challenge for the Unicode project has been to account for all these Unihan variants. To address this, Unicode has attempted to incorporate significant variants for characters and maintains a list of them for each character in the standard. However, it's worth noting that this list is not exhaustive, and others have compiled even more comprehensive lists.
If you're looking for the latest updates, this release boasts improved support for Intel-based Mac computers.
