You don't want characters such as:
手紙 - CHN: Toilet Paper JPN: Letter
鶏 - CHN: Chicken, or prostitute (slang), JPN: Chicken
愛人 - CHN: Spouse, JPN: Mistress
八方美人 - KOR: A perfect person (praise), JPN: Someone who present themselves as perfect (negative connotation)

I mean Hanzi/Kanji/Hanja, whatever you call it is just a minefield imho because each country as taken it and spined it their own way.

LOL that is funny.
