Chinese to Chinese translations [Non-PRO]
Art/Literary - Linguistics / Character | | Chinese term or phrase: KONG | http://www.kongkeefood.com
The above company's name is Kong Kee Food. I need the KONG character written in Unicode (UTF-8) with certainty, because I can't decipher it. This pronounciation seems to be Cantonese, but I would also like to know, how it's pronounced in Mandarin (Pinyin). |

| | 鄺 | Explanation:
I think this might be Kong3 / Kwong3 in Cantonese which is the same as Huang1, Guang3 and Kuang4 in Mandarin (there are multiple readings of the same character in Mandarin) and it's a Chinese family name. For the reference given you must type in 'kong' and select the 'Jyutping (Cantonese)' option, you will then see it displayed as the last character in the list presented. HTH. |
