It's not as easy as that. In many cases, there is more than one
traditional Chinese character for a specific simplified one. In some
cases, there is more than one simplified Chinese character corresponding
to a specific traditional one.
And while there was Japanese participation in the efforts that led to
the relevant RFC(s), .jp currently does treat each Kanji separately,
without any kind of linkage between simplified and traditional forms
whatsoever.
Regards, Martin.
