What's New
The only change is updating the text for "X": The Chinese Alphabet for X is 文, pronounced as wén, representing literature, the arts, and the essence of scholarly thought. X, possibly depicting a primitive way of marking a spot, hints at early human attempts to define and understand the world. Over time, simple markings might have evolved into more intricate forms, culminating in the invention of writing. This evolution is mirrored in 文 (wén), which also signifies 文字 (wénzì), symbolizing writing or script. To pronounce wén, it is similar to went, but without the t at the end. The tone mark, é, indicates a rising tone, akin to the intonation you would use when posing a question in English.
App Description
Add mystery to your writing with Chinese “alphabet.”
There is no such thing as Chinese alphabet. Or is there?
Okay, truth be told, there is no such thing as a Chinese alphabet. But, just for fun, I have selected characters that are somewhat similar in appearance (not in sound!) to the letters of the English alphabet. They can be used like code.
Once you learn how to use this writing system, you no longer have to worry about others reading your diary or other secrets! Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans will recognize the characters, but the combination of characters won’t make sense to them. And people who cannot read Chinese won’t even try to read it.
The symbols used in this “alphabet” are real Chinese characters. All are either positive or neutral in meaning.
FEATURES
