Types of Chinese Variant Characters
One is a group of words created for the same word in the language, and their functions are not distinguished in use, such as tears, tears, eyes, eyes and times. Among the variant characters, the number of such characters is the largest.

The original meanings of the words "sin" and "home" here have no literature use cases, which may be inferred by the editor of the dictionary according to the intention of the font, which is also the fundamental difference between this kind of variant characters and general loanwords.
Thirdly, because of the different ways of inheritance and evolution of the same ancient Chinese character, there are two or more different forms of regular script on the regular script plane, which constitute a variant relationship. Such as: yi-mi, qi-mi,? -I/I wait.
