When I look at UTF8 posts in Korean, Chinese, Japanese I get about 10%
in missing characters. What do you expect for free from MS? However
not too shabby considering the three languages in the singular BATANG
font set. I looked up Taiwan in Google and used the wan character
that seemed most often following your character for Tai. I can
understand why you say it is complicated. Most Chinese I can scribble
from looking but this wan I couldn't even trace if I had too.
