Yeah, but the files being generated would.

http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols-unihan.html:
"For exceptions problem, Unicode doesn't have additional problems against
CJK national standards, because of "round-trip conversion compatibility"
(or "source separation") principle of Unicode. This principle is that
variants which are separated and have different codepoints in a CJK
local standard will also be separated and have different codepoints in
Unicode."
I'm not understanding the problem. As I understand it, any failure to
round-trip completely is a bug. If both translator and user are in
EUC-JP, they should get the same thing. (If one or the other is in
UTF-8, the text is being converted anyway, so this doesn't matter.)
Could you elaborate?
