However, character 青 may have also different meanings and different pronunciations dependently on the context.

Confusion

KanjiLiberal (CJK) character X9752 青 is easy to confuse with KanjiRadical character X2ED8 ⻘ .

Even a native Japanese speaker looking at pictures of characters ⻘ and 青 is unlikely to guess:
Which to them corresponds to character X2ED8?
Which to them corresponds to character X9752?

Tarja

Due to the confusion above, neither 青 nor ⻘ is allowed in Tarja.

Instead, words «あお», «Ao», «Blue» can be used.

If namely character 青 (or ⻘) needs to be specified,
it should be referred with word X9752 (or X2ED8).

Such a boycott may have sense until the bug of the software be fixed
and different pictures for characters ⻘ and 青 become standard, commonly accepted default supported in various software at various operational systems.
