「黃家駒 Wong Ka Kui」(old account, migrated to Piefed) replysh.itjust.worksI mean there isn't much to simplify until it would look too different and unrecognizable.

I looked at some of the 2nd-simplified characters and it looked so weird, started to look partially like it got japanese kana mixed in lol2Reply
