Dear Messrs Wang and Huang:

How are you doing?  I have a question about the term
" traditional chinese chars".

1) In ISO/IEC 10646, there are about 56000 Chinese chars.

2) There are 2235 simplified Chinese chars
  and 2261 chars corresponding to these 2235 simplified Chinese chars.

3) My questions are:

  3-1) By the term "traditional Chinese chars", do you refer to
   just 2261 chars? Or 56000 - 2235 = 53000+ (roughly) chars?

  3-2) I wonder what terms Chinese experts use to distinguish
   between  a) 2261 chars? and b) 56000 - 2235 = 53000+ chars?

Thanks in advance.

KIM, K.
