	Chinese Characters
		While Chinese characters are often thought of as overly complex, in fact they are all derived from a couple hundred simple pictographs and ideographs in ways that are usually quite logical and easy to remember.
		In the last century far older characters have been uncovered, allowing modern researchers to go beyond the traditional etymologies and obtain a better understanding of the true history of Chinese characters.
		Characters form the basic unit of meaning in Chinese, but not all characters can stand alone as a word and most Chinese words are formed of two separate characters.

	RFC 1922 (rfc1922) - Chinese Character Encoding for Internet Messages
		To use this character scheme with MIME, CN-GB is used as the value for the charset parameter: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=cn-gb; charset-edition=1980 Note: The "charset-edition" is a new MIME parameter described in section 4.1 of the "Specification" part of this document.
		To use this character scheme with MIME, CN-Big5 is used as the value for the charset parameter: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=cn-big5; charset-edition=1984 Note: The "charset-edition" is a new MIME parameter described in section 4.1 of the "Specification" part of this document.
		Preferably the implementation should display the characters with glyphs appropriate to the typographic tradition that is implied in the encoding of the received text.

	Chinese character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The number of Chinese characters contained in the Kangxi dictionary is nearly 47,035, although a large number of these are rarely-used variants accumulated throughout history.
		Chinese characters are also known more formally as sinographs and the system as sinography.
		Because character simplifications were not officially sanctioned and generally a result of caoshu writing or idiosyncratic reductions, traditional, standard characters were mandatory in printed, and especially official, works, while the (unofficial) simplified characters would be used in everyday writing, or quick scribblings.

	Chinese character - Chinese Character - Chinese
		Chinese characters or Han characters (汉字/漢字) are used in the written forms of the Chinese language, and to varying degrees in the Japanese languageJapanese and Korean languageKorean languages (though the latter only in South Korea).
		Most Chinese characters, however, are radical-radical compounds, in which each element (radical) of the character hints at the meaning, and radical-phonetic compounds, in which one component (the radical) indicates the kind of concept the character describes, and the other hints at the pronunciation.
		The large number of Chinese characters is due to their logographic nature andmdash; for every morpheme there must be a symbol, and sometimes there are variant characters have developed for the same morpheme.

	The Chinese Written Character (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Thus in Chinese the sign meaning "to be lost in the forest" relates to a state of non-existence.
		In Chinese the chief verb for "is" not only means actively "to have," but shows by its derivation that it expresses something even more concrete, namely, "to snatch from the moon with the hand." Here the baldest symbol of prosaic analysis is transformed by magic into a splendid flash of concrete poetry.
		In the derivation of nouns from verbs, the Chinese language is forestalled by the Aryan.

	Simplified Chinese character at AllExperts
		Simplified Chinese characters are the Chinese characters officially simplified by the government of the People's Republic of China in an attempt to promote literacy.
		Although most of the Simplified Chinese characters in use today are the result of the works moderated by the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the 1950s and 60s, character simplification predates the PRC's formation in 1949.
		Since simplified Chinese conflated many characters into one and since the initial version of the GB encoding scheme, known as GB2312-80, contained only one code point for each character, it is impossible to use GB2312 to map to the bigger set of traditional characters.

	Chinese character
		The more common types Chinese characters, on the other hand, are 'radical-radical' compounds, in which each element (radical) of the character hints at the meaning, and radical-phonetic' compounds, in which one component (the radical) indicates the kind of concept the character describes, and the other hints at the pronunciation.
		The first component (or "radical") simply tells that the character denotes a female entity, whereas the second acts as a pronunciation guide by referring to the word for "horse", which is also pronounced 'ma', though in a different tone.
		The earliest Chinese characters are the so called "Oracle Script" or (甲骨文) jia3gu3wen2 during the Shang Dynasty, followed by the Bronzeware Script or (金文;) jin1wen2 during the Zhou Dynasty.

	Chinese Character Finder (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The difference between this Finder and a standard Chinese dictionary is that the characters here are organized according to their visual form, rather than according to the traditional system of 214 "radicals" or by a phonetic transcription of Chinese words.
		You are presented the characters in the context of a hierarchy of visual "cues" to facilitate learning their specific formal attributes.
		The two characters look almost identical, and while they may have no ostensible genealogical relationship, it is useful to include them in such a grouping for the purpose of comparing them didacticly.

		As legend goes, the Chinese writing system was invented by Cang Ji, a minister of the Emperor Huang Di, after he noticed the distinct footprints of different animals.
		It's probably for this reason that all but five percent of the characters in the Chinese language today are of the determinative-phonetic variety.
		Although the origin of written Chinese is shrouded in myth, studies show a clear development from extremely representative pictograms through various stages of simplification to abstract ideograms.

	Chinese logographic writing system
		The meaning of Chinese symbols can be recognised across time, despite language changes in the spoken language, so that the Chinese have access to almost all their literature and history from pre-classical times.
		Chinese does have phonetic elements, representing spoken sounds, but according to Wang (1973) it is not possible to read using the phonetic elements without first analysing the whole character to find out which is the phonetic element.
		Chinese and Japanese children quickly learn a few characters as wholes, but then comes a stage when they are liable to confuse characters that share a common subpart, until at last they are able to make correct associations to the whole characters because they have become clearer about the subparts.

	Chinese Character Test - How many Chinese characters do you know?
		The Chinese Character Test is based on the Clavis Sinica dictionary, which in turn is based on the first level of the Guobiao Chinese character set.
		The Clavis text reader window allows you to display any digitized Chinese text and to access, with a click of the mouse, the pinyin and definition of any unfamiliar character and of the word in which it is used.
		For any unfamiliar character, you can display a separate character information window that shows how the character is divided into its radical and phonetic parts, which can be a big help in remembering the structure of the character.

	The Chinese Script (www.chinaknowledge.de)
		The character of Chinese as a language with isolated syllables not having a declination or conjugation makes it possible to express every spoken word in a written form simply by writing one single character.
		Many of this huge number of characters are used solely for special terms in poems, novels, or sciences or in old literature, a great amount of characters are used for dialect words and are probably never written in books, and many old characters have died out.
		Hand writing is often done with character shapes that vary from the normal book printing, partially by change of stroke order or connection of two strokes to one to make writing quicker and easier, partially to acheive a character appearance that is more beautiful (see calligraphy page).

	Reading Chinese Characters
		Both of the characters in the unit may or may not have separate meaning, but they do contribute to the meaning of the compound (which can also be considered analogous to English).
		Historically, it was thought that the process of reading Chinese characters did not rely on phonological processing as much as English script (as discussed in Pollatsek, 2000).
		While one body of research has looked at Chinese character reading in isolation, an extension of these studies is interested in looking at language differences as a whole.

	Simplified vs Traditional Chinese in Unicode
		In many cases, this meant that a single character from the simplified set was used in place of several characters from the larger traditional set.
		What is left for unification are characters representing the same thing but exhibiting no visual differences, or relatively minor differences such as different sequence for writing strokes, differences in stroke overshoot and protrusion, differences in contact and bend of strokes, differences in accent and termination of strokes, etc.
		The Chinese national GB standard defines a basic set of (around 6,000) characters for use with Simplified Chinese writing that does not include many of the characters in the Taiwanese industry standard for Traditional Chinese called Big 5 (around 13,000 characters in the basic set).

	Chinese Characters
		While Cantonese and other dialects have developed their own "local" characters for informal communication and pop-literature, traditional Chinese remains the mainstay and the primary means of business correspondence.
		Sometimes an additional component is added to change the meaning of a character while the base sound is changed little or not at all.
		While each character should be learned with its individual stroke order, there are some simple rules that can be remembered to make remembering the proper stroke order easier.
