Han (Traditional variant)
As a Chinese character, Han can be used as both a given name and a surname. When used as a given name, it is often combined with other characters to form a two-character name, such as Han Chinese or Han people.
The Han script is a traditional variant of the Chinese script that is used primarily in Hong Kong and Macau. The Han script is based on the standard Chinese script, but uses a different set of characters.
The Han script is not used as the primary script in mainland China. However, it is used in some publications and newspapers in Hong Kong and Macau.
The Han script is also used in some Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, such as Singapore and Malaysia.
