Yes. In theory it has nothing to do, but I think Charles might be 
thinking of the Han unification "controversy" in Unicode. CJK languages 
have characters in common which are written with different glyphs in 
each language. So, seemingly distinct objects map to the same character. 
What is supposed to happen is that if you know you're reading Japanese 
you should choose the glyph that is common in that language. But some 
people haven't realised this and complained that unicode wrecks their 
characters ("this is not my name!") where the issue is really with the 
font/glyph.

Cheers,
Daniel.
