Sichuanese characters information


Sichuanese characters (Chinese: 四川方言字; Sichuanese Pinyin: Si4cuan1 Fang1yan2zi4; pinyin: Sìchuān Fāngyánzì) are those Chinese characters used only in written Sichuanese. Sichuanese characters are often created as ideogrammatic compound characters (会意字) or phono-semantic compound characters (形声字).[1]

For example, in Sichuanese 𨈓 (Sichuanese Pinyin: nang1) means "thin", and it is created in ideogrammatic compounds as shown in the table below:

(body) + (small) = 𨈓
small body → thin

Furthermore, 㧯 (Sichuanese Pinyin: nao3), which means 'to lift" in Sichuanese, is created as a phono-semantic compound character as shown in the table below:

Determinative Rebus Compound

nao3

nao3 "to lift with hand"
