AI overview
Traditional Chinese characters are the more complex form of written Chinese that has been used since ancient times and continues to be the standard writing system in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau today. They matter because they preserve the historical development of Chinese writing and remain essential for reading classical texts and communicating in these regions, even as mainland China adopted a simplified character system in the mid-20th century.
