Most easily mistaken Chinese character

[Shelley]

Have to agree with Hofmann it looks right on the webpage. I assume you mean the small hyperlink in the top left of the page.

Here are a few more characters which are very similar, but in fact different.

 

夭 (yāo) and 天 (tiān) - 夭 is an archaic character which means to die young (早死、未成年而死),while 天 means sky or heaven

 

土 (tǔ)  and 士 (shì) - 土 means earth or soil, while 士 indicates a "scholar" or a gentleman and is often used in compounds indicating some sort of rank (博士，上士，士官, etc)

 

未 (wèi) and 末 (mò) -  未 originally means "not" and appears in compounds such as 未必，未成年.  末 means "end" as in 夏天末日, "the last day(s) of summer.
