Parameters
{{liushu|type}}
|1=- One of the following:
1, p: Pictograms (象形)2, i: Ideograms (指事)3, ic: Ideogrammic compounds (會意)4, psc: Phono-semantic compounds (形聲)
|nocap=y- Changes the first letter to lowercase.
|rs= (deprecated)- The radical–stroke sortkey (such as
金05), to sort the character in categories. No longer used: the sortkey is retrieved by Module:Hani-sortkey.
As usual, etymologies should be referenced. Shuowen Jiezi is a standard reference from the early 2nd century CE, and is valuable but sometimes inaccurate.
Caveats
- The overwhelming majority of Chinese characters (90+%) are phono-semantic compounds.
- Beware of etymologies based on current forms (especially claims that a character is an ideogrammic compound) – the current form is often a simplification of an older form, which may not be related to the current components.
- Richard Sears’s Chinese Etymology may prove a useful resource, showing older forms.
