Not actually a distinct writing system, it's just Chinese characters (with some unique ones, but it's still not as distinct as, say, Chu Nom. Not notable, google search returned nothing, couldn't find an indication of topic's notability from a brief search of scholarly database.

• redirect to Written Hokkien which covers the use of Chinese for Hokkien much more fully with sources.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 13:04, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sounds reasonable, but I'm not sure if it would be better to redirect there, or maybe redirect to Chinese characters, seeing as that's what Han-ji means. Should the Hokkien for Chinese characters redirect to Hokkien writing, or Chinese characters? I'm not sure we need it at all. --Yellow Diamond Δ Direct Line to the Diamonds 22:06, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I see where you are coming from on this. I agree, Hàn-jī just means Chinese characters. But it’s a far less likely search term than e.g. Hanzi, so there is much less need for it. But as an article that’s existed a couple of years there may be links to it from elsewhere, it may be cached in e.g. search engines or browser caches. Anyone accessing it is likely looking for the content that’s there now, and the best place to send them is the article that covers the topic properly, which is Written Hokkien.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 11:29, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
