What's Your Favourite Character?

[Sam Addington]

鼎 and 丁

another one 龜

[Ednorog]

My most favourite by far:善

Both because of the appearance and the meaning.

我

is also pretty cool. Among the others, I can now think of

利 张 钱 喜 量

My favourite character has always been

噩

Meaning 'shocking' or 'upsetting' as in 噩梦 'nightmare'.

It's just so... perfect. LOL!

[Sam Addington]

噩

I like this one too! A perfect companion to 靈 (simplified 灵 )

However, this character was buried in my Microsoft IMS. While trying to find it I also came across 霛 and 零.

齒 is another fun one.

I always feel 之 gets the best shape in penmanship.

餐

good things to be found here

我

First character I ever learned, and the only character that looks awesome every time I write it.

Either based on the meaning, or how the character looks, what is your favorite character?

I know it's a strange thing to ask ,but I just came across "fragrant" 馨 , and thought it was quite beautiful looking.

Do share

[CrisPal]

＂馨＂(xin1) is not only come across "fragrant" it also "warm good excellance"

"温馨＂　＂德艺双馨＂

鬱

Funny, I would've expected 龍 to be popular, together with the 愛 (which actually was).

So... Many nice characters, like 龍... Or the (obviously increasingly cool) characters 龖, 龘, and

1) 赢 - not sure why. Maybe it's the 3 open-ended components on the bottom, like 3 brothers. Also it's apparently from an old character for "mule", but with the horse component replaced with a money component.

2) 之 - same reasons as everyone else

3) 丫 - I just think it looks awesome, and it's easy to remember

4) favorite component: 隹 - because I can scratch out all those lines quickly and feel like a writing whiz

I'm still a beginner but here a few of my favorites so far:

我，家， 中， 里

My favorite changes upon my mood I guess but most often I really like 中 because of its simplicity.

[Hofmann]

I totally forgot there was such a thread. Well, I think I like 之 a lot right now too.

Here's how to write it.

You have got to get out more.

Is that an actual character I looked in the Unihan database but couldn't find it. I could however find this one 娚.

And also more amusingly, this one:

One's missionary, the other is doggy. And 嫐 is very lucky.
