<p>Is there a (paper or online) dictionary/list that contains <strong>standard</strong> variants of Chinese characters next to each other? That is, the Kangxi Dictionary forms (正字／康熙字典體), the forms recommended in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc. It would be great if it also showed the characters in different fonts (宋體／明體、黑體、楷書、行書、草書、隸書、⋯⋯), but I'm afraid it may be too much to ask. I know about the <a href="http://dict.variants.moe.edu.tw/eng.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Dictionary of Chinese Character Variants</a>, but it doesn't seem to contain that information.</p>

<p>For example, I'm looking for a dictionary that would illustrate differences between Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as in this picture (Hong Kong on the top, Taiwan on the bottom, source: <a href="http://www.ogcio.gov.hk/en/business/tech_promotion/ccli/cliac/glyphs_guidelines.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CLIAC</a>):</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-12-12)

Is there a (paper or online) dictionary/list that contains **standard** variants of Chinese characters next to each other? That is, the Kangxi Dictionary forms (正字／康熙字典體), the forms recommended in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc. It would be great if it also showed the characters in different fonts (宋體／明體、黑體、楷書、行書、草書、隸書、⋯⋯), but I'm afraid it may be too much to ask. I know about the [Dictionary of Chinese Character Variants](http://dict.variants.moe.edu.tw/eng.htm), but it doesn't seem to contain that information.

For example, I'm looking for a dictionary that would illustrate differences between Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as in this picture (Hong Kong on the top, Taiwan on the bottom, source: [CLIAC](http://www.ogcio.gov.hk/en/business/tech_promotion/ccli/cliac/glyphs_guidelines.htm)):

[![Differences between Hong Kong and Taiwan glyphs](https://i.sstatic.net/Lfl5Q.gif)](https://i.sstatic.net/Lfl5Q.gif)

Or something like this:

> From right to left: Kangxi Dictionary forms, Mainland China standard, Hong Kong standard, Taiwan standard, Japanese standard. ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variant_Chinese_character#Orthodox_and_vulgar_variants))
