  1. like 入 and 八?


  2. Similar in appearance:入 (rù, enter),

    八 (bā, eight), 大 (dà, big), 儿 (ér, son), ... etc

  3. there are two similar characters actually

    人 = ren2 = man (left storoke is big, right stroke is small)

    入 = ru4 = enter (left stroke is small, right stroke is big)

    however

    there is also

    八 = ba1 = 8

    which is obviously different because there are two equal stokes and  some space between them

  4. Off the top of my head: 入 (enter), 八 (eight), 儿 (child). I'm sure there's more though.

  5. similar in meaning?

    男= man (nan2)

    人类= mankind (ren2 lei4)

    Similar in appearance:

    入= enter (ru4)

    八=eight (ba1)

    儿=youngster (er5)

    几= small table (ji1)


  6. 八 (bā, eight), 入 (rù, to enter), 大 (dà, big), 儿 (ér, son), 乂 (ài, to govern)... etc.

    I used this really great site, called nciku (see the link in my sources). It has a handwriting recognition program that allows you to draw out characters, and then suggests ones that look like the one you drew. I used it all the time when I find characters that I don't know.
