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 zhǐ “only” or zhī “MW for animals”).
  • Several meanings or grammatical uses (e.g. 教 jiāo “to teach (verb)” and jiào “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.
