| | Chinese character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Use of Chinese characters has disappeared from the Vietnamese language, where they were used until the 20th century. | | | Although now nearly extinct in Vietnamese, varying scripts of Chinese characters (hán tự) were once in widespread use to write the language, although hán tự became limited to ceremonial uses beginning in the 19th century. | | | In China itself, thousands of simplified characters were created and adopted in Mainland China between 1956 and 1964, to eradicate mass illiteracy. |
