Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 韓德爾; on the Mainland it is 亨德尔 - both point at “George Frideric Handel (1685–1759), German-born British composer”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 韓德爾、亨德爾 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
