The most common Chinese characters in order of frequency
If you wonder why there are less than 3000 characters in the list, or have other questions,
please read the introduction!
 All characters are presented in falling statistical order with the most commonly used
characters first.
 Alternative forms of the characters are specified within parentheses
– in which case "F" marks full (or traditional) forms, "S" marks simplified (or modern) forms
and "A" marks alternative forms (mostly special numerals).
 Pronunciations are specified according to Pinyin and written within brackets "[...]".
After each given pronunciation, a number of possible translations are listed. If a
character corresponds closely to a somewhat longer word (usually a word that
contains the character in question), the longer word is given in the list of translations
marked with parentheses and a "=".
 After the translation of each character, example words containing the character are
often listed – these words are separated by semi commas. No guarantee is given that
all the most common words are listed or that the given examples are very common.
 Some of the listed pronunciations are less used than others, and in those cases
translations and examples may lack.
 Grammatical particles, classifiers and other special translations are marked with hooks
"<...>".
 Curly brackets "{...}" are mostly used when giving references to characters that are
similar to the listed ones either in shape. This is to help you avoid
miswriting/misreading. The same marking is also used for references to characters
with similar meaning but different pronunciation.
 Additional information of other sorts is sometimes given.
 If the characters are not displayed correctly, verify that the encoding is set to GB2312.

The most common chinese characters in order of frequency

  • 1. The most common Chinese characters in order of frequency If you wonder why there are less than 3000 characters in the list, or have other questions, please read the introduction!  All characters are presented in falling statistical order with the most commonly used characters first.  Alternative forms of the characters are specified within parentheses – in which case "F" marks full (or traditional) forms, "S" marks simplified (or modern) forms and "A" marks alternative forms (mostly special numerals).  Pronunciations are specified according to Pinyin and written within brackets "[...]". After each given pronunciation, a number of possible translations are listed. If a character corresponds closely to a somewhat longer word (usually a word that contains the character in question), the longer word is given in the list of translations marked with parentheses and a "=".  After the translation of each character, example words containing the character are often listed – these words are separated by semi commas. No guarantee is given that all the most common words are listed or that the given examples are very common.  Some of the listed pronunciations are less used than others, and in those cases translations and examples may lack.  Grammatical particles, classifiers and other special translations are marked with hooks "<...>".  Curly brackets "{...}" are mostly used when giving references to characters that are similar to the listed ones either in shape. This is to help you avoid miswriting/misreading. The same marking is also used for references to characters with similar meaning but different pronunciation.  Additional information of other sorts is sometimes given.  If the characters are not displayed correctly, verify that the encoding is set to GB2312.
