Actually, talking about Chinese characters...
I don't know if it'll survive, but i got this message (which i am now
responding to) with a random hanzi in it!  Third line from the top of
Florian's paragraph, the first word is (at least on my screen)
"r{hanzi}amier".  Having only taken 2 semesters of Japanese, i don't
recognize it (also it's pretty small), but it uses the 'door'(?) radical
you find in "hear", and then inside it there's something that looks like
the one Japanese uses for the |sei| in |sensei| (teacher) and |gakusei|
(student), except without the little smitchik on the upper-left.  It may
have a little smitchik in the lower right part.
