valikor Posted November 17, 2010 at 10:47 AM Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 at 10:47 AM Does anyone know if there are any more characters made by combining three of the same character? The ones I've found so far are: 森 sen1 品 pin3 晶 jing1 众 zhong4 瞐 mo4 尛 mo2/ma2 淼 miao3 焱 yan4 壵 zhaung4 垚 yao2 矗 chu4 鱻 xian4 羴 shan1 轟 hong1 赑贔 bi1 犇 ben1 劦 lie4, xie2 刕 li4 磊 lei3 惢 suo3/rui3 畾 lei2 I haven't really found a reason to learn these characters, since most of them are not useful. But I think they look awesome. So unless someone wants to add some linguistic analysis/significance to the topic, for now, it's just for fun David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valikor Posted November 17, 2010 at 10:55 AM Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 at 10:55 AM Also: 姦 jian1 厵 yuan2 灥 xun2/quan2/quan4 芔 hui4/hu1 Maybe someone with experience with traditional characters would be able to find more, since lots of people (such as myself) would not know that so many of these characters are right under their noses, hiding behind simplification (like 奸 above). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creamyhorror Posted November 17, 2010 at 01:29 PM Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 at 01:29 PM I've seen 飙 used. But I guess that isn't quite a component-thrice-repeated character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ma3zi1 Posted November 19, 2010 at 05:27 PM Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 at 05:27 PM Do these count?: 彡 ㄕㄢ (shan1) 川 ㄔㄨㄢ (chuan1) And again, for symmetry 叕 ㄓㄨㄛˊ (zhuo2) Any more quadruples? ... quintuples? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hofmann Posted November 19, 2010 at 07:31 PM Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 at 07:31 PM How about 巛? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted November 19, 2010 at 08:08 PM Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 at 08:08 PM Regarding 彡, 川 and 巛 , we're talking about characters repeated three or four times, not strokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of them are rarely used and even can't see in the daily life. For example,㵘 màn,í... I even don't know how to read it and understand the meaning.
