What differs, and by how much

Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 漢他病毒; on the Mainland it is 汉坦病毒 - both point at “(loanword) hantavirus”.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 漢他病毒、漢坦病毒 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.

Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.

Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
