![]() ![]() It’s the only Chinese font included with High Sierra that supports this 2013 standard, or any characters beyond Extension B. The PingFang font set (in six weights) was developed by Dynacomware Shanghai and Apple (working together) in 2015. ![]() ![]() It might or might not fit, but regardless there would be little or no room for the future. PingFang itself contains 48,902 glyphs (for its SC, TC, and HK fonts), so there is room for more (maximum glyph count is 65,535), but to incorporate DSC for all the traditional Chinese characters currently in PingFang would be a close thing. PingFang SC contains all of the 通用规范汉字表 simplifications. I don’t know if it’s been rejected or what. There is a proposal to reserve a single, dedicated variation selector for DSC, basically providing a font-based solution. There are dictionaries that show the correct derivations, and it seems inevitable that more and more of these “derived simplified characters” (DSC) will find their way into print. I could be wrong, but I think the line for encoding simplified characters is currently drawn at this 2013 PRC standard, and there is debate about what to do beyond that. One of the big questions for Unicode going forward is what to do with what are called “derived” simplifications. 196 of these are outside of the BMP, with 108 in Extension E - the few that I checked in Extension E were simplified forms of established but previously unsimplified characters. They are arranged on three levels, of 3,500, 3,000, and 1,605 characters respectively. ![]() This is an official list of standard simplified forms for a set of 8,105 commonly-used characters. Ken Lunde has updated his list of reasons for developers to support code points beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP):Įxtension E completes Unicode support for the PRC standard 通用规范汉字表 published in 2013. Unicode 10.0 (2017) is the current version and includes CJK Extension F. High Sierra supports Unicode 9.0 (2016), which means it supports CJK up to Extension E. ![]()
