And perhaps *you* do not realize that U+53EA zhi3 is *also* a
traditional character, and that it contrasts in proper usage
with U+96BB zhi3, and that a normal *traditional* representation
of zhi3xian4 "Only show..." would be U+53EA U+986F.

U+53EA is also one of the 1-n simplifications that screw up the
SC/TC mapping in any case. In PRC orthography, it is not only the
simplification of U+96BB, but also the simplification for U+7947
(and U+7957), which is the proper adverbial particle for "only, merely".

U+53EA *is* in Big-5. 0xA575. Do your homework.

This kind of intentionally misleading example and campaign of
ad hominem argumentation directed at the chair is getting
truly tiresome.
