CJK is the collective abbreviation for the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, which are bound together by their shared use of logographic Chinese characters and their historical offshoots. The C encompasses both Simplified and Traditional Chinese script variants. The J covers Japanese Hiragana and Katakana alongside Kanji, which are Chinese characters adapted for the Japanese language. The K represents Korean Hangeul as well as Hanja, the Chinese characters utilized within Korean text.
Because these languages rely on thousands of intricate characters, the corresponding font files must house an enormous volume of individual glyphs, often including Western Latin characters as well. Due to the massive file sizes generated by this extensive character support, foundries typically package each script into its own isolated font file.
