I'm not sure what you mean by legal. If you mean in the sense of "Will I get arrested or charge with copyright infringement if I use hanzi" then I would have to say certainly not - you can breathe easy. In fact, for my Bauhinese conlang I'm using hanzi in additional to a kana-like syllabary devised from hanzi. Cheers, Eamon
