 Could you explain (as native speaker), how many KANJIs are  _really_
different between C vs J vs K  ?  I think, about 95% are common.

 Otherwise, it is possible to introduce new characters in future versions
of Unocode (ISO-10646) if they has really different glyph. The Unicode
codespace is big and open :-)
