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:
身(body) + 小(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 |
---|---|---|
扌 hand |
老 nao3 |
㧯 nao3 "to lift with hand" |
