I think it is a problem when 2 characters that are written differently share the same code point.
Having 大 be the same code point for Chinese, Japanese and Korean is to me as obvious as having the same A for English and Italian. We agree on this point.
But some of the unified characters listed on Wikipedia ought to have different code points because they are no longer written the same across languages.

This is like having a and α share the same code point.
