<< review queue entry 88916 - submitted by 'cws' >> Regarding the 瞭解's variant status here: https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?log_id=97097&return=ListChanges&handler=ViewLogEntry 瞭解 了解 [[liao3jie3]] /variant of 了解[liao3jie3]/ On existing entry of 瞭|了[liao4]: 了 is an unofficial variant of 瞭 However on 97097's update, 瞭解 is the variant of 了解, not the other way around. Or is 瞭解 a variant spelling, and not a variant due to variant character substitution? If 瞭解 is a variant due to variant character substitution, this should be the new entry for 瞭|了[liao4]: 瞭 了 [liao4] /unofficial variant of 了[liao4]/ If 瞭解 is just a variant merely due to variant spelling, keep the existing entry of 瞭|了[liao4] ----------------- Editor: This proposal conflates two distinct cases: 瞭 pronounced liǎo, and 瞭 pronounced liào. The entry you are submitting a change to (i.e. 瞭|了[liao4]) relates to the latter, and does not have any bearing on 瞭解 and 了解, in which the first character is pronounced liǎo. 《通用规范汉字表》 specifically lists 瞭 among characters that are not simplified in certain senses/usages: 对在部分义项和用法上不简化的“瞭、乾、藉、麽”等字，加注予以说明。 Its note on 瞭 says: 瞭：读 liào 时不简化作“了”，如“瞭望”“瞭哨”。 https://zh.wikisource.org/zh-hans/通用规范汉字表#fn_1 Thus there is no inconsistency with 瞭解 being a variant of 了解. In the liǎo reading, as in 了解, 了 is the standard form; when 瞭 is read liào, as in 瞭望, standard simplified-Chinese orthography retains 瞭. The commonly encountered 了望 therefore involves the unofficial use of 了 in place of standard 瞭, not the reverse. So /unofficial variant of 了[liao4]/ would reverse the relationship. That said, the existing wording could perhaps be clarified: 瞭 了 [[liao4]] /variant of 瞭[liao4] (了 is commonly but unofficially used as a simplified form in place of 瞭[liao4])/ |
