Which Character

[edit]

How are we gonna pick again which characters to use? It seems like 憢 is 陰平, which doesn't correspond to the 陽平 on the actual word. Doesn't 堯 better correspond? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 13:50, 27 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Mar vin kaiser: Both aren't 本字 though, so I think we should stick to the recommendations by MoE. Also, I have cited two non-dictionary sources using this rather than 堯疑, so unless you can find actual usage of 堯疑 outside of dictionaries, I think we are picking the more representative characters (which would align better with Wiktionary's principles). — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 14:05, 27 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Mar vin kaiser: I've tried googling a bit, and there is some usage of 堯疑 outside of dictionaries, but the Google results for 憢疑 makes it look much more common than 堯疑 (not by number of hits, but by number of true hits). I'll investigate more when I have time. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 18:15, 27 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
