Han Characters

• Han Characters are used to write many modern and old languages. Today they are used in the Chinese languages, Japanese, and Korean. They were used in Vietnamese in the past.
• In most cases, Written Taiwanese uses the Harnji script (as does Mandarin), although there are a number of special characters which are unique to Taiwanese and which are sometimes used in informal writing. Where Han characters are used, they are not always etymological or genetic; the borrowing of similar-sounding or similar-meaning characters is a common practice. (See theaji).
• About 20-25% of typical running texts lack an appropriate sinographic written form (Mair (2010))
• Harnji often have several pronunciations. For example, 老 has one colloquial reading and three literary readings (marked 文). See Buun-peh-i-thak.
  • Colloquial Taiwanese has roots in Old Chinese.
  • Literary Taiwanese, which was originally developed in the 10th century in Fujian (Hokkiexn) and based on Middle Chinese, was used at one time for formal writing, but is now largely extinct.
• For the readings of a Harnji character, use the MoE's TBSS and TGJT
• You can input Harnji into the "MTL Interface to POJ Dictionary" (part of the MTL Toolbox)
• Kanji are Chinese characters as used for the Japanese language. Kanji that were used as man'yōgana eventually gave rise to hiragana and katakana.
