winston ah, there's also stroke recognisation input... you gotta know the strokes and stroke order - which means you need to know how to write... damn :(

edit: there's two means of viewing chinese thru the web. one is GB-encoding which is simplified characters (standard in PRC). the other is Big5-encoding which is traditional... (i only worked this out in yr 10 when i went overseas)...

oh and moi name chars for monkee:

"wu" - surname, so there isn't much meaning.
"wen" - as in literature, language, art, culture etc.
"hui" - as in glory, brightness, honour etc.

actually, in canto, i'm called by my second character, so it's 'ah fai' (canto pronounciation). ;)
and no, i'm not gonna let you call me that - 'ah mun' sounds so much like a chick's name...
