To be improved
[edit]Identify Determinative and Rebus components for Phono-semantic compound characters- Composition between the components, like IDS composition sequence (not like English that all letters in a word is from left to right in a line, Hanzi could be left to right, top to bottom, center and surrounding, etc.)
The Italic text in{{term}}
is not suitable for Hanzi.- Same components from different Hanzi could be categorized. For example, 清, 晴, 請, 蜻 could be in 青 category.

- The Forth one could be achieved alternatively by the header "Descendants" (or maybe header "Derived Terms"?), see 青 for an example. --Wihwang 05:11, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- The question of “where to put descendants/derived terms” is perhaps better suited for Wiktionary talk:About Chinese characters, as it regards general formatting.
- To my eye, “Derived terms” is better, since “composition of graphical elements” seems most analogous to “composition of word elements/morphemes” – “Descendants” seems most suited to simplifications.
- Alternatively, we could define separate headers for Han characters – “Derived characters” and “Simplifications”, etc.

simplified vs. traditional
[edit]I've identifed a problem with this template, as it seems to use only traditional characters; this would seem to be something we should try to change to provide both character sets. --达伟 23:02, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Random space?
[edit]Why does this template now produce a random space between the parenthesis and the colon? Eg at 從, Ideogrammic compound (會意/会意) : 辵 (“walk”) + 从 (“follow”). ChromeGames (talk) 07:20, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
