  Support By the way, how about using
⟨ 気 (Q3594993)      ⟩ Unicode code point (P4213) ⟨ 6C17 ⟩
part of (P361) ⟨ CJK Unified Ideographs (Q994386)      ⟩

- Some Unicode characters such as 漢 (Q54872914) and 殺 (Q54879672) have multiple Unicode code point (P4213) values assigned to the same item. This is because ~~we are not able to create new items for Unicode characters~~ that are part of CJK Compatibility Ideographs (Q2493848) and CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement (Q2493862). These characters will convert and refer back to the main character. Thus, we might not be able to use this property for certain Unicode characters. KevinUp (talk) 09:27, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Just want to notify that compatibility forms are now being created with the codepoints in brackets, eg. 著 (U+FA5F) (Q55726748) and 著 (U+2F99F) (Q55738328), to be distinguished from its normalized form 著 (Q54918611). This property has been proven to be very useful. Thank you for creating it! KevinUp (talk) 14:39, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, I am interested to know if there are plans to create up to 137,374 items for the 137,374 characters that are currently available in Unicode 11.0 ? KevinUp (talk) 09:27, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, I plan to do it.--GZWDer (talk) 17:14, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - @GZWDer: While I am not opposed to you doing this, please elaborate on this as I have asked you to elaborate on your importation of cebwiki articles and let people opine about this mass importation first. Mahir256 (talk) 00:31, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - @GZWDer: yes, this is a large import so it should definitely be the subject of its own bot request. − Pintoch (talk) 08:36, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
