⼦ and 子
The two characters X2F26 ⼦ and X5B50 子 have similar pictures, similar pronunciation and similar meaning. The dictionaries mentioned above ignore this confusion, making wrong and dangerous impression of simplicity.
In order to distinguish the two characters, some programming is required. The Utf8 encoding of these two characters can be revealed by PHP program du.t activated with command
php du.t ⼦子
The optput is
⼦子
The array has 6 bytes; here is its splitting:
e2 bc a6 e5 ad 90
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(3) "⼦"
[1]=>
string(3) "子"
}
Unicode character number 12070 id est, X2F26
Picture: ⼦ ; uses 3 bytes. These bytes are:
xE2 xBC xA6 in the hexadecimal representation and
226 188 166 in the decimal representation
Unicode character number 23376 id est, X5B50
Picture: 子 ; uses 3 bytes. These bytes are:
xE5 xAD x90 in the hexadecimal representation and
229 173 144 in the decimal representation
Confusion
JanjiRadical X2F26 ⼦ [7] and
KanjiLiberal X5B50 子 [8] look similar.
This causes confusions. There are alerts about this congusion
[9][10][11].
Usually, a Human, even the native Japanese speaker, looking at ⼦ 子, cannot guess, which of them is X2F26 and which is X5B50. For citing, the alphanumerical names X2F26 and X5B50 seem to be better, than ⼦ and 子.
Some software programmers try to resolve such confusions, making authomatical substitutes, redirects from some Unicode characters (and/or even sequences) to another. Usually, such a "correction" does not generate any alert; no any warning appear.
As the result, the content of an article with any non-ascii name, at the backing and recovering, may happen to be lost, replaced to article with the "correct" spelling of the name, containing only the "redirect".
Yet, no such a "conspyration" substitution is detected namely for characters ⼦ and 子. However, such an "updates" may appear in future. For this reason, the four similar articles X2F26, X5B50, ⼦, 子 are loaded in TORI.
