The Unicode Book describes the criteria for Han unification in terms
of a "two-level classification". Unfortunately, it doesn't explain
what the "two-level" means - does it mean the two dimensions of
abstract and actual shape, or does it mean that the ideograph
component tree is only examined for the top two levels?
In particular, I don't understand the 6th row of Table 12-5.
Why do the characters have the same abstract shape, when one has a
Claw radical and the other doesn't - they even have different indexing
radicals.
