    No I mean the minor difference ones. Or how I am supposed to memorize 5000 hanzi to be considered college literate. This is a bunch of repeating but good Lord there is a lot of individual characters out there.

      It’s sorta like memorizing the word encyclopedia. I’m sure if there were a handful of letters missing or wrong you could still read it. Because you don’t memorize the letters but what it looks like. Exactly how Chinese works.
