Hi there - I'm working on an information retrieval application for a collection of Chinese documents, which appear to use a mix of traditional and simplified characters. My intuition is that it makes sense to do traditional to simplified folding for indexing and query processing (when the mapping is unambiguous), but I'd be interested in opinions about this.
Second, I just noticed the kZVariant field in the Unihan.zip file. It seems to me that it makes sense to fold these together as well, correct? Thanks for any information you care to provide. - John Burger MITRE
