The evidence image, which is simply a code chart excerpt, is insufficient. While the link to the CNS 11643 website is better, it also is insufficient. A dictionary entry or book excerpt that explains its meaning or shows the ideograph in context is desirable.

Agree with comment by Ken Lunde.

IRGN2486 (TCA's submission for WS2021) indicates that the evidence image is from the household service database, from which the name on each person's ID card is printed. It is not simply a code chart; it is an official government document with legal effect. For further explanation, please see IRGN2546.

, UCV #307c

According to new UCV #307c, TCA agrees to unify, and TCA wants to keep 02801(⿰石萑).

These two characters are a good case in which reading is based.

The character 萑 can be read "huán" or "zhuī". 碓 is read "duì". Although there is some obvious phonetic overlap due to the shared phonetic 隹, the semantic spread would not normally allow unification of the 萑 and 碓 components, as is being proposed here. As students of Chinese historical phonology well know, the phonetic elements of characters are a valuable, though not perfect, guide to character meanings and cognate relationships. Even though TCA does not attach importance to character readings, the users of those characters do and have provided different readings for T9-7658 and TE-2622.

Moreover, due to it's shape and Vietnamese reading "hoàn", 萑 can be found as a simplification of the component 雚. For example, U+28B36 𨬶, "quán", meaning "tub". This is also a possibly unifiable variant of the component ⿱龷隹 found in U+2D13F 𭄿, U+2B790 𫞐, etc., which in Vietnamese are written with one less stroke as seen in the picture below. In general, it would be best to only unify characters with different structures when those differences do signal different readings.

Agree with Lee for no unification.

Based on Lee’s analysis, the right part is derived from 雚, that means the upper right component should be the vulgar variant form of 卝 not, 艸. The new UCV mentioned in WS2021-02950:TE-2668 is not suitable for this case.

For the glyph, the vulgar variant of 雚 is often written as 萑 with three-stroke 艹, so there is no need to change the glyph as the vulgar one.
