tianjinpete Posted December 29, 2007 at 03:44 AM Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 at 03:44 AM I wonder why PlecoDict's ABC / Oxford dictionaries are unwilling to define 晟; seems a common enough character ... 晟 [shèng] light; grand [Wenlin/ABC] 晟 [shèng] brightness of sun; splendor [Cedict] and 晟 [Chéng] 姓; surname (现代汉语词典 2002 ed.) ... although this thread shows there's some confusion about its usage: Q: 这个字念什么？ 上面一个日，下面一个成。 它念什么，是什么意思？谢谢了。 A: 晟字有两个读音。一个念cheng二声，是姓。一个念 sheng四声，〈书〉1.光明。2.旺盛；兴盛。 http://ks.cn.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1307022200067 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu Posted December 29, 2007 at 09:30 AM Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 at 09:30 AM Makes me wonder if somewhere in China there's someone named Cheng2 Sheng4, 晟晟. He'd constantly have to explain his name and its pronounciation, but a cool name it would be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
