You should also specify a country, which should either be in the language
used in the country it's sent from, or in French. If Taiwan or Hong Kong is
specified, the software could choose a traditional font. Otherwise, it could
choose a simplified font. This would of course require extra programming
code from the programmer.
However, an interesting problem could be if any shop doesn't have any fonts
for any language used in addresses. Then the item might be sent to an
address similar to this:
â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡ â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡
â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡ â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡ 5
â–¡â–¡â–¡ 34 â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡ 9 â–¡â–¡â–¡
Some country
