Han-Characters shared in a variety of forms among a number of Asian languages constitute a unique linguistic phenomenon. Traditional characters are used in Taiwan and Hongkong, simplified characters in Mainland China and Singapore, Hanja in Korea, Kanji in Japan, and Chữ Hán in Vietnam. As a core part of traditional culture, Han-Characters shape modern language forms and carry rich historical and cultural meanings. This Conference aims to bring together scholars, researchers, and practitioners from different countries to foster international knowledge exchange and research collaboration on Han-Characters education and research.

With the support of co-organizing institutions, the conference has been renamed to attract broader participation in the field. Building upon accomplishments of the past thirteen conferences, the 15th Conference will take place in early February 2026 at Taiwan Normal University (NTNU). As a comprehensive university with a long-standing academic tradition, NTNU has been a leading institution in Han literature education for over half a century. In recent years, it has brought together scholars from linguistics, literature, psychology, neuroscience, and digital technology to establish the Chinese Language and Technology Center, promoting interdisciplinary approaches to both research and pedagogy. By hosting this conference, NTNU aims to create a platform for intergenerational academic exchange and warmly welcomes scholars, experts, and graduate students from around the world to participate.
