[edit] Number of stokes

I make it 45 strokes- is that right? Whatever the right number is, it would be nice to mention it. Henry^Flower 12:08, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I thought it was 57! Discuss it at Commons:Image talk:Biáng-order.gif. Silversmith Hewwo 12:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

That 45 should have been 54- still not the same, but closer. I dropped some on the ma and the changs. ;( Henry^Flower 12:31, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Biang didn't make it into Unicode 5. :-( 81.236.185.9 16:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

It didn't make it?! I'm so disappointed...but is this really the most complicated character? What about "Dragons moving?" (In Japanese thats pretty complicated...) Anyway, maybe I'll learn bing2 just for fun.. --Charizardpal 23:27, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

It has been submitted (not yet accepted) to the IRG for Extension D. Extension C is next, which will be post Unicode 5.1. Bendono 08:12, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I think you are referring to U+9F98 龘 [1]. However, there is the more complicated U+2A6A5 𪚥 [2] as well. While does have more strokes (64), it is much simpler to write due to the repetition than biáng. It means "many words" (due to the many strokes). Bendono 13:05, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mnemonic

The Mnemonic seems to missing the knife (刀) radical on the right, no? Jbradfor 01:37, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unicode

Did this character get added into Unicode? --Voidvector (talk) 21:52, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

No, not yet. As I wrote above, it is part of Extension D which is still being finalized by the IRG. Expected completion is sometime in 2008, but then it needs to go through formal balloting etc. which will delay it even longer. Expect Extension C first. Bendono (talk) 01:03, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
