there are 2145 traditional chinese characters which can be mapped to
simplified, ignoring those 1:N mapping which is context sensitive in the CJK
unification area. 

Not too sure about Japanese tho since i dont do folding in japanese before (as
there is no need). But since I know at least a couple chinese traditional
glyphs which map to simplified glyphs which dont make sense in Japanese,
folding in CJK is definately a big problem.

Life would be a bit easiler if C,J,K are allocated different codespace. We
still left with context sensitive 1:N mapping. But at least we are not any
worst off then case folding in European languages.
