Hi, Let's deal with Math: Each Chinese code has two kinds of formation basically (for 1-1 mapping only). Thus we will have 2^N permutation. There are about 2000 pairs of frequently used TC/SC codes, so we have 2^2000 permutation. Here comes the most interesting part: The issue can be easily solved through existing technology, but we rather shift the burden of 2^2000 permutation to the daily labor intensive operations. Not to mention other ripple effect : 2^N lawsuit, trademark enforcement...,etc. I was convinced that these problems were created, just because engineers dislike it. I am also curious to know why things are urged to that direction and their motivation.
