• A rant about Chinese charecters

    From Squiddie@VERT/GOMERS to All on Sun Apr 25 14:05:23 2021
    Okay, so I've been taking manderin lessons for about 7 months, and I noticed something that doesn't seem logical to me.

    So, the character for person is /\ (please bear with me, the text editor on my BBS doesn't have chinese characters :/ )

    And big is -/\- (which makes sence, because the line is waist hight, which is fairly large)

    So my question is why small isn't _/\_
    It would make sense since the line is at the feet of the person, which is where small objects and animals are (e.g. a tennis ball and an ant)

    I know that there might be something I'm missing, so if there's a reason (e.g. it being an existing character) please let me know!
