<http://tinyurl.com/6mlspy> is a nice example of a Cantonese one
<http://tinyurl.com/6yw4sw> is the name of a province in Vietnam
written in hanzi (and *not*, BTW, from HK SCS).
Over three hundred characters from the SIP are to be found in the
various East Asian Wikipedić: 293 in the main Chinese one, twenty-five
in the Cantonese one, eleven in the Japanese one, and six in the
Korean one. I could probably continue to cull them to find one that's
more convincing than these two.
