Telegraph
editI think it's interesting to add that in order to communicate through the telegraph system (which was a meaningful technological adaptation with broad consequences), Japanese people used Kana (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabun_code). Obviously it would have been too impractical to devise a system that tries to attribute codes to kanji. I just can't really see where that information would fit in the article in its present state.

- How the Chinese dealt with it was assigning four-digit codes to characters (Chinese telegraph code), then sending those four-digit codes across with either the Morse digits or abbreviations thereof. As for Japanese, katakana alone was also used by early computer systems (see JIS X 0201 and Japanese language in EBCDIC § Single-byte codes), prior to widespread support for wide CCSes such as JIS X 0208 or Unicode. As for the page for Wabun code, it's currently linked from Katakana § Usage, but might be worthwhile linking from this article too… --HarJIT (talk) 12:27, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
