A few of the surviving characters are preserved in the written histories of Wu Zetian, and a few have found themselves incorporated into modern-day computer standards, classified as either variant or dialect-specific characters. The form of the characters varies depending on where they are printed. For instance Empress Wu's own name ''zhào'' 照 was replaced with 瞾, but is erroneously thought to be 曌, and looking in the Kangxi Dictionary, one finds the description of the former having two 目 ("eye") characters being the proper character rather than the word ''míng'' 明 meaning "bright". Another form replaces the 明 above 空 with two 日 characters. In Japanese , they are known as Sokuten Moji (則天文字). EXTERNAL LINKS |
