3000 characters, it is the Chinese middle school level.
To be considered literate in Chinese, you would need to be familiar with around 3,000-4,000 basic Chinese characters. However, to read a newspaper or other advanced materials, knowledge of 5,000-8,000 characters would be necessary.
There are three writing systems in Japanese: kanji (characters borrowed from Chinese), hiragana, and katakana. There are over 2,000 commonly used kanji characters, along with 46 characters in both hiragana and katakana.
There are thousands of characters in Mandarin Chinese, but a common estimate is around 20,000 characters. However, you only need to know around 3,000 characters to read a Chinese newspaper.
Chinese is a language that is character-based, with each character representing a morpheme or a syllable. It is a tonal language, meaning that the pitch intonation of a word can change its meaning. Chinese has a subject-verb-object word order and is not inflected, meaning that it does not have verb conjugations or noun declensions like many other languages.
Chinese characters are logograms, where each character represents a specific word or concept. This system provides a way to represent the Chinese language, which has many homophones due to its tonal nature. Using characters allows for written communication even among different Chinese dialects.
There were over 1,200 unique cuneiform symbols in ancient Mesopotamia. These symbols represented various words, sounds, and concepts in the Sumerian and Akkadian languages.
No Chinese person even knows all the symbols or characters. So know as many as you do and keep on learning.

There is roughly about 47,035 characters in the Chinese alphabet.
Zero. Chinese uses ideograms that represent whole ideas rather than sounds. The largest Chinese dictionaries have over 50,000 characters, although most of these are obsolete or obscure variants of existing characters. In order to be literate in Chinese today, one has to know only a few thousand.
As far as i know more than 25% Indian people are literate. But please you clear it because I am not sure.
They could be Japanese OR Chinese. Many Japanese kanji(the symbols) were adapted from Chinese. There is no way to tell the difference unless you know that the symbols are from one language or another.You could always check with the person you bought them from--maybe they'd know. You can also buy a Japanese-English dictionary and see if the translation in it makes any sense. If it doesn't, try a Chinese-English dictionary. If you have a camera, you can take a picture of the glasses and post it on a question forum somewhere too.
Animal symbols in the Chinese New Year calendar repeat every 12 years.
They are much better educated, literate and many are computer-literate.
About 80,000Some of the largest Chinese dictionaries may have over 56,000 Chinese "symbols" (better known as characters). Many of those characters are rare, obscure and/or archaic.To have a basic grasp of Chinese allowing you to read a newspaper magazine or a general subject book, you will know approximately 3,000 characters. Having a better knowledge in a specific field (finance, business, trading, import/export, mining, medical, legal, etc.) you will have a knowledge base of approximately 4-5,000 characters. A good grasp of Chinese literature and/or Classical Chinese writings, you will need to know approximately 6,000 characters.
There are many symbols...you must be more specific. I dont know if you can answer this question on this site as they are pictures.
Lover of the lights and all that's good. I am half Chinese and know the Chinese meaning of many names
This is a trick question. There is no such thing as a Chinese alphabet. Chinese uses a pictographic system. In China they don't have letters, they just have words, so there is a different symbol for each word....this is why it is extremely difficult to learn Chinese because you have to memorize so many symbols.
