Chinese Charater

Lam Hung

Rather than creating new words based on its object shape, the naming in Chinese for modern technology either borrowing meanings, sounds from foreign languages or combining existing words. Examples are '電腦', '打印機' and '互聯網'. These terms are formed by combining two or more existing characters. What I did was to apply ancient hieroglyphic method to create a single word for each modern item. New Chinese Characters for "ichat", "youtube", "google", "facebook"
