23 duplicates detected
(hanzi listed at several levels or units in the HSK v2/v3 sources)
Why these duplicates?
In Chinese, the same hanzi can legitimately appear several times in a curriculum:
- Several pronunciations (polyphonic characters, e.g. 只 is read “only” or “MW for animals”).
- Several meanings or grammatical uses (e.g. 教 “to teach (verb)” and “teaching (noun)”).
- Intentional pedagogical reviews at different levels of the curriculum.
The comparison automatically removes duplicates (first occurrence kept) for the calculations. The list below is for information only.
