When choosing an English Given Name there are considerations, such as, meaning and sound. There are extra dimensions when choosing a Chinese Given Name. I was recently introduced to a Chinese female Given Name: 淼 (miǎo). This has various meanings, including: Infinity / A Flood / A wide expanse of water. In the context of a Given Name I will take the meaning to be Infinity.

淼 is a fascinating character because it consists of the radical 水 repeated three times. 水, as a standalone character, means water. One can easily appreciate the connection between 水, 淼, flood and hence Infinity.

Baidu 3D Maps

I recently discovered that Bǎidù 百度 have 3D maps. I think these maps are very impressive and visually stunning. I much prefer these 3D maps to satellite images and find them easier to navigate. I assume that they are using a design/3D modelling App where each building is an object. Each building object then being fitted to an underlying street map. One day I will find out exactly how they do construct these 3D maps. It is still very much a work in progress. Few cities, as yet, have 3D maps. Below I have given links to city 3D maps. As the Bǎidù 3D map coverage encompasses other cities I will add further links.

It looks to me like the 3D map technology is attributable to O.cn and the joint venture is the integration with the Bǎidù map service. Below, I list di...

Chinese Tones

Recently, in one of my International Computing lectures, I was demonstrating the use of the Unicode Combining Diacritical Marks. I was using Latin letters as my base character and combining various combinations of diacritcs. As was expected they worked fine. Then an idea occurred to me. I wondered if the diacritics would combine appropriately with Chinese characters. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that with TextEdit on Mac OSX they combined rather well. Later I tried with various Word Processors and the results of combining were either poor or non-existant. The next step was to try it with web pages. Combining did not work at all with the browsers I tried. I then used html5 Ruby Annotation and that works quite well, as below. 北 ̬ 京 ̱ 欢 ̱ 迎 ̗ 你 ̬ The Combining Diacritical Marks I have used for the annotation are:- U+0316 COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT BELOW U+0317 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT BELOW U+032C COMBINING CARON BELOW U+0331 COMBINING MACRON BELOW

Japanese Input Method

For many years I have used mechanisms like Character Palette for special pictorial symbols. Over time one acquires a set of frequently used symbols. There are also some symbols available by pressing key combinations. I do not find either of these methods satisfactory. Recently I discovered an alternative method for typing pictorial symbols when using the Kotoeri Japanese Input Method on my Mac and iPod Touch. When writing Japanese one can invoke the Candidate Window by pressing the space bar after typing some Japanese. The Candidate Window lists all the possibilities for the word one has typed. Some Japanese words have associated symbol(s) which are selectable in the Candidate Window. Below, I list those word/symbol associations I have, so far, found. でんわ=telephone: type でんわ to get ☎ あめ=rain: type あめ to get ☂ ゆき=snow: type ゆき to get ☃ くも=cloud: type くも to get ☁ ほし=star: type ほし to get ★ or ☆ まる=circle: type まる to get ○ or ● or ◎ or ◉ おんせん=hot spring: type おんせん to get ♨ おんぷ=musical note...
