Well, there is a difference here:

Japanese/CHS version:
----------
 \ | /
  \ | /
   \ | /
----+-----
     |
     |

Korean/CHT version:
----------
   / | \
  / | \
 / | \
----+-----
     |
     |

Although I suppose this could be font differences, too? "Pseudo Verified" on
a WinXP system with the following fonts:

Japanese -- MS Gothic, MS UI Gothic
Simplified Chinese -- SimSun, NSimSun
Traditional Chinese -- PMingLiU, MingLiU
Korean -- Gulim, Batang, Dotum

I do not know how important this is though, experts on the languages could
probably comment more effectively.
