How we counted

Our reader cut a large sample of Chinese web pages (FineWeb-2) into words, and each word’s count went to every character in it. A character’s pinyin is the reading its words use most; a second one shows when its words use it at least a sixth of the time, like 为 wèi, wéi.

Characters or words

Chinese is read in words, not characters: 东西 is “thing”, not “east west”. Learn a character inside the words it’s used in. Tap a character above for its word page. Characters or pinyin first?
