Thank you for leaving a comment and saying so! I’m very happy you were able to enjoy the raticle without knowing Chinese!

I don’t speak or read Chinese at all and this was fascinating! Thank you!

In reply to Kai.

好久不見 indeed! And great catch! I’m referring to the triple dragon character, but I changed to the quadruple dragon one because it’s even more awe-inspiring. Unfortunately, I forgot to change all instances of this, so the Pinyin and the translation still refers to the triple version. Thank you for pointing this out; I’ve fixed it in the article! 🙂 Also, this is a good example of when “lots of strokes” doesn’t mean “hard to learn or write”.

This is fantastic.

Ok I probably need to read it more.

So many rabbit holes…

But very interesting ones. Edgy! And fun.

One question (of many) about the pronunciation of that crazy quadruple dragon character 𪚥 (love it: the most complicated character, and I can write it!).

I didn’t find it in Pleco or in MDBG, but the Wiktionary says this:

好久不見！
