Read Edit View history Edit: Unknown component Title Body (markdown + directives) An **unknown** component is a component whose purpose is unclear. Unfortunately, not all Chinese characters have a clear explanation. For example, nobody really knows for certain what the top component of 是 was originally supposed to represent. :grid(headers=[Character, "Unknown component"]){ :char(simp=是 trad=是 pinyin="shi4" gloss="to be") :char(simp=是 trad=是 highlight=0 gloss="[unknown meaning]" nochar=true) } :swatch(type=unknown) Unknown components are color-coded as :color(type=unknown){gray}. Use Markdown for prose. [[slug]] for article links, [[simp|trad]] for character links, [[simp|trad|pinyin]] for sense links. Directives use :name(attr=val){children}.
