Chinese written language consists of characters that represent words and meanings, with each character typically representing a single syllable. There are thousands of characters in regular use, and they can be written vertically or horizontally. Chinese characters can be written in simplified or traditional forms, with simplified characters being used predominantly in mainland China.
