@nprofile1q... Forbearance, then? I mean, there you are writing about Chinese characters and here I am diverting the conversation into talking about Japanese. I just like the characters and the history around them (like different simplifications and meaning shifts) but I'm a bit wary of coming across as being a Japanese fanboi. It's just that I don't really have any perspective on hanji other than that. It's good to get a non-Japanese perspective, though. So :thumbsup_hmn_h2:
