chixkee 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2018 Hello, I am very new to learning Chinese and I do not know the meaning or pronunciation or this character. If someone could help me by giving me the pinyin and the English translation for this character I would be very grateful. Thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mungouk 989 Report post Posted February 5, 2018 Pleco doesn't insist on stroke order, or at least I just tried it with a couple of variants and still found the character. If you can access google translate on the web, that also allows hand-written input for characters (pen icon), and you can be as random as you like with that so long as it looks like the character.
