Resources - Simplified Chinese Characters
Simplified Chinese Characters are one of 2 standard sets of Chinese characters of the contemporary Chinese written language. The government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) has promoted them for use in printing in an attempt to increase literacy. They are officially used in the PRC (Mainland China), Singapore, and the United Nations.
Simplified character forms were created by decreasing the number of strokes and simplifying the forms of a sizable proportion of traditional Chinese characters. Some characters were simplified by applying regular rules; for example, by replacing all occurrences of a certain component with a simpler variant. Some simplified characters, however, are very dissimilar to and unpredictable from traditional characters. Finally, many characters were left untouched by simplification, and are thus identical between the traditional and simplified Chinese orthographies.
Simplified characters are often used among mainland Chinese immigrants and the majority of the Chinese-speaking world uses simplified characters.
