Chinese characters
One of the most complex characters found in modern Chinese dictionaries[g] is Nang  (U+9F49) (nang,  listen (help*info), pictured below, middle image), meaning "snuffle" (that is, a pronunciation marred by a blocked nose), with "just" thirty-six strokes. However, this is not in common use. The most complex character that can be input using the Microsoft New Phonetic IME 2002a for traditional Chinese is Ta  (da, "the appearance of a dragon flying"). It is composed of the dragon radical represented three times, for a total of 16 x 3 = 48 strokes. Among the most complex characters in modern dictionaries and also in frequent modern use are Xu  (yu, "to implore"), with 32 strokes; Yu  (yu, "luxuriant, lush; gloomy"), with 29 strokes, as in You Yu  (youyu, "depressed"); Yan  (yan, "colorful"), with 28 strokes; and Xin  (xin, "quarrel"), with 25 strokes, as in Tiao Xin  (tiaoxin, "to pick a fight"). Also in occasional modern use is Xian  (xian "fresh"; variant of Xian  xian) with 33 strokes.
