If there were a simple mapping between simplified and traditional Chinese characters, this would be treated somewhat like case-folding (see http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr21/). My understanding, however, is that the mapping is not algorithmic -- that it essentially takes parsing plus a dictionary look-up to do a good job. I believe that Basis Technology offers a package for doing that. Can anyone else comment?

How can I normalize the text so that equivalent Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters do not compare equal? --- I actually don't know the answer to this. UTR #15 doesn't seem to cover this.
