The issue of mapping between traditional and simplified Chinese characters was debated at great length recently on the Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) mailing list. It seems like a great idea, but it is simply not practical. A great many TC characters do not have a 1-to-1 mapping to SC, and vice versa. Far from being a simple operation like Latin case mapping (to which it was compared), TC/SC requires potentially complex analysis of the text being converted. This is the opinion of many experts within, as well as outside, the Unicode standardization effort, and it is the reason you will not find a Unicode TC/SC mapping table. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
