Although Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan Province and other places regard traditional Chinese characters as the standard of education and official documents, in daily life, people often use various simplified Chinese characters, such as notes, diaries, notes, signatures, letters between relatives and friends, etc. for the convenience of writing. It can also be seen in advertisements, posters, shop announcements, shorthand, marks on goods, answers to test papers (non-Chinese-related subjects) or teachers' blackboard writing, lectures and other semi-formal occasions.

Most of these characters come from simplified characters and popular characters, and some of them are the same as Japanese new fonts or simplified characters; Some are influenced by both, but they are not familiar enough, so the rumors have a variety. A few people will consciously learn and use Japanese new fonts and China simplified characters, but most of them are only used alternately and rarely throughout.

People will not deliberately imitate the standard strokes of simplified Chinese characters, but when writing lines and cursive forms, they will naturally form shapes similar to simplified Chinese characters (especially cursive), such as symbols, doors, east, north, see, pages and books, which are usually regarded as. In contrast, you can see the words "body", "medicine", "medicine", "number" and "harmony" in regular script.

These simplified characters are generally called "simplified characters", "popular characters" and "simplified characters", which are different from those of Chinese mainland. Due to the lack of standardization, some commonly used characters are not included in computer coding.
