This slide shows examples of contrasting shapes in Traditional and Simplified ideographs.

The characters on the left are one ideograph; the characters on the right are another. Characters at the top are Traditional shapes; characters at the bottom are Simplified.

Note that each of the large glyphs shown above is a separate code point in Unicode. The Simplified and Traditional shapes are not unified unless they are extremely similar. (Han unification will be explained in more detail later.)
