Page "Character (computing)" Paragraph 6

For example, the Hebrew letter aleph (" א ") is often used by mathematicians to denote certain kinds of infinity, but it is also used in ordinary Hebrew text.

In Unicode, these two uses are considered different characters, and have two different Unicode numerical identifiers (" code points "), though they may be rendered identically.

Conversely, the Chinese logogram for water (" 水 ") may have a slightly different appearance in Japanese texts than it does in Chinese texts, and local typefaces may reflect this.

But nonetheless in Unicode they are considered the same character, and share the same code point.
