What does a whole note look like
No. One eighth note equals one eighth of a whole note. Two eighth notes equal a quarter note, and four quarter notes make one whole note.
The number of counts in a whole note is dependent on the time signature. If the bottom number is 4 (quarter) then the whole note gets 4 counts; if the bottom number is 2 (half) then the whole note get 2 counts; etc.
It has two "flags", half of an eighth note which has one "flag"
The Quarter Note
Only one thing. A dotted half-note. The dot extends the length of a note by one-half. There is nothing in notation that stands for a three/quarter note.

In music, a whole note (American) or semibreve(British) is a note represented by a hollow oval note head, like a half note (or minim), and no note stem . Its length is typically equal to four beats in 4/4 time. Most other notes are fractions of the whole note; half notes are played for one half the duration of the whole note, quarter notes (or crotchets) are each played for one quarter the duration, etc. A whole note lasts half as long as a double whole note (or breve).

The Quarter Note
十六 Shí liù It is literally the characters "ten" and "six". Note: This does not count as one whole character. You still write these two apart for "sixteen".
There are 16 sixteenth notes in a whole note! Just as there are two half notes, one fourth note, etc., there are 16 sixteenth notes.
Only one thing. A dotted half-note. The dot extends the length of a note by one-half. There is nothing in notation that stands for a three/quarter note.
The dotted-quarter note in a faster song, or the 8th note in a slower one.
Four Quarter Notes = the duration of one whole note. So in other words a quarter note gets one count. 1 whole note = 2half note's = 4quarter notes
16 sixteenth notes equal a whole note (1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a) =)
