Mnemonic
Un enfant 子 sous un toit 宀 : le caractère a d’abord signifié enfanter et élever. Le lien avec l’écriture passe par ce sens. La tradition savante divise l’écriture en 文, les images simples, et 字, les composés « engendrés » par assemblage — 字 est le caractère qui engendre. D’où 汉字, les caractères chinois, 写字, les écrire, et 名字, le nom qu’ils épellent.
