LinZhenPu Posted September 5, 2017 at 09:00 PM Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 at 09:00 PM Can anyone identify these characters? I don't recognise them and Pleco OCR can't make heads or tails of them. They're from the name of a Taiwanese pop song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Publius Posted September 5, 2017 at 09:33 PM Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 at 09:33 PM 趴 pa1, to lie on one's stomach: 趴下,不许动! 踢 ti1, to kick: 再动我把你脑袋摘下来当球踢! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted September 5, 2017 at 09:34 PM Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 at 09:34 PM And the term 趴踢 pati seems to be Taiwanese Sino-English for party. (This is where Wenlin outshines Pleco since you can search for all characters containing one or more particular components.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted September 5, 2017 at 09:40 PM Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 at 09:40 PM 趴 - pā 踢 - tī 趴 - pā 趴 - pā 趴 seems to mean percent in Taiwan or lie prone in Mandarin 踢 is to kick Maybe it is supposed to used for the sounds? Don't know the meaning otherwise. 6 minutes ago, 889 said: This is where Wenlin outshines Pleco I found it in Pleco just not with the OCR.

889 Posted September 5, 2017 at 10:04 PM Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 at 10:04 PM https://baike.baidu.com/item/趴踢 I have missed it? Does Pleco let you search for all characters containing, say, 喜 as a component? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted September 5, 2017 at 10:27 PM Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 at 10:27 PM Yes it does.If you look up 喜 and them move to the Chars tab it lists all characters with 喜 as component. But I found the OP's characters using the drawing feature, but from there you can find all these things. With the Outlier addon there is also Wenlin style (but not the same) explanation of characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted September 5, 2017 at 10:42 PM Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 at 10:42 PM Thanks, I didn't know that. Wenlin has that feature, but it also lets you search using more than a single component. So if you're looking for 嘻, say, you can search for a character containing both 口 and 喜, and get 嘻.
