  11. #TodayILearned that China attempted to simplify Chinese characters *twice*.

    As many of you know, the characters used in most of Mainland China is “simplified” (简体字), while the characters used in Hong Kong and Taiwan never got simplified, and remained “traditional” (正體字).

    What I didn’t know was that China attempted to simplify the character set *again* (二简字), and it flopped mightily, falling out of use only seven months after its announcement.

    Julesy describes the second round, and why it flopped.
