“By Han times the brushes have been radically improved in design to cope with the refinements of the "new" script. This is amply evidenced by comparing the pre-Qín examples of the early Hàn characters.”

“The distribution of Hàn characters under each of the six gesture in the four Grades are tabulated in Table 15, based on the corpus of Hàn characters in Guō Xíliáng (1986). Guō collects 9068 Hàn characters appearing in documents existing prior to 220 C.E.”

“Khu, Bûn-sek ( 邱文錫 ) was born in rural Tauyuan. He has loved literature since he was a child, and was taught Seven-word verses (Chhit-jī-á) by his father in primary school. Thus he spoke Taiwanese, and recognized the Hàn characters of Taiwanese, despite the fact that it’s a difficult thing to read Taiwanese Hàn characters.”

“Even without state-run institutionalization, written Taiwanese has been in use in printed and handwritten documents for centuries. Depending on the situation, different scripts have been used, including Hàn characters (Hàn-jī), Latin alphabet, adapted versions of Japanese kana and Zhuyin fuhao (注音符號). Nowadays, Hàn-jī and Latin are the two scripts which cover the vast majority of produced texts. Zhuyin is mostly used for annotation of rare Hàn characters or in teaching materials, and for code-mixing in spontaneous writing. […] The Romanization is considered as the input that could be made by a user and the Hàn characters sequence is our target.”
