Not My Name

Caption

The visualization Not My Name explores the complexity of Chinese names and the challenges of using Pinyin romanization, focusing on how it impacts the distinction between surnames and given names. Created by Liuhuaying Yang, from the Complexity Science Hub, the visualization uses a leaf-and-tree metaphor: just as no two leaves are alike, every Chinese character is unique, explains Yang.
