Chinese

Glyph origin

Simplified from 𢅛, a variant form of 龍. 帝 is then removed, leaving out 尨. This was simplified even further by removing two of the three strokes of 彡.

For pronunciation and definitions of 龙 – see 龍 (“Chinese dragon; Western dragon; etc.”). (This character is the simplified form of 龍).

Notes: Simplified Chinese is mainly used in Mainland China, Malaysia, and Singapore. Traditional Chinese is mainly used in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.
