感谢你的回答！我解释一下「我偶然发现它在 10 画 之列。我感觉真是咄咄怪事」，是因为我当时以为字典上列的就是简体的「骨」，而这是 9 画。此时我还不知道它的另一种写法（繁体），所以感到奇怪。区别在于那个开口，开口向左对应「横折」，一画；开口向右对应「竖」「横」，是两画，所以是 10 画，比简体多了一画。这是我后来（就是看到了两个字的区别之后）才知道的，在这之前我确实感到很奇怪

<p>Recall that the contributions to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_characters" rel="noreferrer">CJKV</a> Unicode standard comprises interested parties from China (PRC), Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan (ROC), Japan, South Korea, North Korea, and Vietnam, each with their own language administrations.

Recall that the contributions to the [CJKV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_characters) Unicode standard comprises interested parties from China (PRC), Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan (ROC), Japan, South Korea, North Korea, and Vietnam, each with their own language administrations. The major parties in this field are from PRC, ROC, and Japan, and whatever obscure choices Unicode may make is likely going to be due to one or more of these 3.

The question *Why (sometimes) multiple different shapes are encoded under a single [Unicode code point](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode#Codespace_and_code_points)* is a product of how each of these regions categorise characters:

* PRC, under the 2013 [*Table of General-Use Standard Chinese Characters*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_General_Standard_Chinese_Characters) ([通用規範漢字表](https://zh.wikisource.org/zh-hant/%E9%80%9A%E7%94%A8%E8%A6%8F%E7%AF%84%E6%BC%A2%E5%AD%97%E8%A1%A8)), categorises characters into
  + *Standard Characters* (規範字)
  + *Complex Characters* (繁體字)
  + *Variant Characters* (異體字)
* ROC, under the [*Table of Standardised Forms of Common-Use National Characters*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart_of_Standard_Forms_of_Common_National_Characters) (常用國字標準字體表), categorises them into
  + *National Characters* (國字) or *Orthodox Characters* (正體字)
  + *Variant Characters* (異體字)
* Japan categorises Chinese characters into the following lists/tables:

For 【骨】, the common shape

`傳承字形  
![Common 骨](https://i.sstatic.net/M6kecsbps.png)`

is simply standard (常用漢字) in Japan, and is considered an [*Old Character Form* (舊字形)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiu_zixing) in both PRC and ROC. Note that 舊字形 is *not* a category in either the PRC or ROC's recognised Chinese character categories as regulated by the language administrations, so this 【骨】 is not a 異體字 (ROC) or 繁體字 or 異體字 (PRC); both PRC and ROC would consider it as a *font difference* and list this under [U+9AA8](https://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=9AA8) regardless.

* The PRC shape

  `陸標  
  ![PRC 骨](https://i.sstatic.net/Vx6FcZths.png)`

  is simply a [*New Character Form* (新字形)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xin_zixing), derived from the 1965 [*Table of General-Use Chinese Character Forms for Publishing* (印刷通用漢字字形表)](https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E5%8D%B0%E5%88%B7%E9%80%9A%E7%94%A8%E6%BC%A2%E5%AD%97%E5%AD%97%E5%BD%A2%E8%A1%A8). ROC and Japan don't recognise this shape, and PRC itself doesn't categorise this shape differently, so in the PRC it is simply a 規範字 and doesn't have a special Unicode code point.
* The ROC shape

  `臺標  
  ![ROC 骨](https://i.sstatic.net/oTwHSXBAs.png)`

  is simply the shape chosen in ROC's 常用國字標準字體表. PRC and Japan don't recognise this shape, and ROC doesn't categorise this shape differently, so it is simply a 正體字 and doesn't have a special Unicode code point.

---

Consider two other examples:

* 【敢】 is 11 strokes in the PRC and 12 strokes everywhere else, but is also under one Unicode code point everywhere ([U+6562](https://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=6562)). This is because the common shape

  `傳承字形  
  ![Common 敢](https://i.sstatic.net/G8wA73QEs.png)`

  is considered a 舊字形 (a *font difference*) in the PRC, with the 新字形 being

  `陸標  
  ![PRC 敢](https://i.sstatic.net/Umi70v2Es.png)`

  PRC doesn't categorise the common 敢 as a 繁體字 or 異體字, so it doesn't push for any unique Unicode code point.
* 【爭】 is 8 strokes in ROC and Japan, and 【争】 is 6 strokes in the PRC, ROC, and Japan. The common shape under [U+722D](https://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=722D)

  `傳承字形  
  ![Common 爭](https://i.sstatic.net/b4pBMCUrs.png)`

  + Is 人名用漢字 in Japan.
  + Is 舊字形 in ROC, with the standard shape being

    `臺標  
    ![ROC 爭](https://i.sstatic.net/xFWTq0his.png)`

    under the same Unicode code point U+722D
  + Is 舊字形 in the PRC (a *font difference*) and is totally replaced by 【争】.

  On the other hand, this shape under [U+4E89](https://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=4E89)

  `![争](https://i.sstatic.net/61a6u0BMs.png)`

  + Is 常用漢字 in Japan
  + Is 異體字 in the ROC
  + Is 新字形 in the PRC

  Since the PRC views 【爭】 and 【争】 as font differences, but Japan and ROC puts them under different Chinese character categories, you can hypothesise that if PRC was the only user of Chinese characters, then 【爭】 and 【争】 would also be under one Unicode code point.

you are kidding the 214 radicals used by 康熙字典; **“骨” is categorised as 10 strokes**, and you feel strange

the book published by o’reilly [cjkv Information Processing](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/cjkv-information-processing/9780596156114/) is a must read

briefly, how to represent a **glyph** of a unicode code point, is depended on the font used; and, fonts are designed. in cjkv context, a font designer need to address the regional, language difference.

for the code point u+9aa8, there’re three significance glyph variations: hong kong , china & taiwan
