Adrien: What does your character mean?

Thorondor   November 6th, 2011 8:12a.m.

Hi :-),
since others asked about characters they saw somewhere and wanted to know what they meant... I really would like to know, what Adrien's character in die Profile means. Can you, Adrien, or someone else, tell me what it means? It is pretty impressive.

Related to that question: What is the character with the highest amount of strokes and/or the most impressive one, you guys came across?

I might be mistaken, but I think it's a special kind of noodle.

I think I stumbled over it once on the wiki page for characters with very high stroke counts:

If inkubus and I are thinking of the same "character" it is generally only found in 西安 and other parts of Shaan'xi Provence, pronounced biáng.

Here is a blog about the character on Study More Chinese.
