There should be no difference between TW/HK and JP/KR 今. This difference is not explicitly stated anywhere in Taiwan MOE or HKSCS specification, and is not displayed in Source Han Sans. Below is a screenshot of Taiwan MOE document which only stated to use 亼 instead of 亽.

TW/HK 今 should either be unified with JP/KR, or change the bottom to similar to CN.

As an HK native I prefer the JP/KR form also for SHSerif.

It is true that MoE's Standard Form of National Characters document didn't mention whether the stroke form of the lower part of 今, but its The Dictionary of Chinese Variant Form (異體字字典) did categorize the last stroke of U+4ECA 今 as a "橫撇 (一丿)", same as the left component of U+6C34 水.

6C38

So it is of no surprise to me to see a font following the MoE glyph standard adopts such a form.

I am curious whether there is any more examples other than 今 that render a "橫撇 (一丿)" as the form in JP/KR (which looks more like a 橫折, 乛) though.
