放洩阀 ??? mixed traditional and simplified characters?

[geek_frappa]

in a simplified dictionary, i saw the following term: 放洩阀

however, true simplified is: 放泄阀

on the other hand, true traditional is 放洩閥

i don't think i know what i am talking about...

[geek_frappa]

is it common to mix some traditional characters with simplified for clarification?

my guess is your dic published in 1970s...isnt it?

[smithsgj]

Why, what happened in the 1970s?

I assume it's a reference to the aborted final stage of character simplification, where 下 was to replace 夏 in 厦，where 品 was to become something like 日 on its side, and where 餐 was to lose all but the top left radical, among other changes. It was implemented during a trial period, I recall, so once in a while these odd characters pop up in '60's or 70's printed material.

[889]

Second thoughts: it was 器 that was to become something like 日 on its side.

[smithsgj]

Oh right. Actually that version of 餐 is used a lot in Taiwan (though the windows ime doesn't have it)

Taiwan uses a simplification that isn't even used at the mainland??

[hparade]

yes, i've seen those odd characters in some books, it's quite funny~

and taiwan tends to use their own simplification on casual occations and hand writings etc
