Han (Traditional variant)

Traditional Chinese characters (繁體字, fántǐzì) are the original, unmodified Chinese logographic writing system used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, and many overseas Chinese communities. Each character represents a morpheme and the system contains tens of thousands of characters, though literacy typically requires knowledge of about 3,000-5,000.

Traditional characters were standardized over centuries through successive dynasties and encode more of a character's etymological history than Simplified Chinese. The same traditional characters are used across all Chinese varieties (Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, etc.) since they represent meaning rather than sound.
