Character or characters?

This article should probably be moved to Sino-Vietnamese character to correspond with the title of the article Chinese character, and to Wiki's general rules regarding plurals. The other side of the coin is that any individual character is better described as either Chinese/Han or as Vietnamese/Nom. So the singular may not see much real world use.

妖, love, and hinting at a person’s sex

Someone wrote about the character 妖: 女 means "woman," so this character specifies romantic love.

I would rather have expected a sentence like: 女 means "woman," so this character specifies making love.

Alternatively, about the character 㤇: 忄 (a variant of 心) means "heart or emotion," so this character specifies romantic love. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LiliCharlie (talk • contribs) 15:15, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is 囍 a Sino-Vietnamese character?

I don’t think 囍 is used as a regular character anywhere in East Asia. It is just the reduplication of the character 喜 “happiness” (often called 雙喜 “double happiness”), meaning: may the two spouses lead a happy life. It is not used to write language though, but only as a symbol seen at weddings. P.S.: You are doing a good job. —LiliCharlie 21:34, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
