You're kind of cheating with this old, mostly unused character (it was simplified to 亀). But the point stands, because there are plenty of common characters that can be just as unreadable.

Even your `simplified` example (assume no one using 龜 now) can have trouble on a 4K screen. the horizontal line is the 田 structure of this character is somehow not vertically centered on my firefox. (given it should have enough space to)

BTW: I am a Taiwanese, so I literally use that character.

Your simplified variant of 龜 appear to be used in Japanese kanji, but the "old, moetly unused" version is still used in places using Traditional Chinese like Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Erf, I don't know why, but somehow I thought you were talking about Japanese specifically.
