Super long character practice: biáng and huáng
The first is often considered the character with the most strokes and refers to a type of noodle (biangbiang mian).
The second has more strokes but isn’t really a word. It’s considered an artistic representation of heaven, in character form.
I feel like biáng was actually possible to get somewhat decent, but huáng was just incredibly difficult to get the spacing right 😂

突 = to dash or move forward quickly; abruptly; suddenly; unexpectedly, protrude
It's all about things moving forward and unexpectedly with this one!
Random words that come to mind include unexpectedly or out of the blue 突然 (tūrán), as well as conflict 冲突 (chōngtū) or 突出 (tūchū), something that is prominent or that sticks out.
突发 (tū fā) is interesting as well — it means to break out or appear unexpectedly... like 疾病突发 (jí bìng tū fā), the outbreak of an illness.
It's also a cute onomatopeia for things that have a tapping sound or that chug along, like when your heart goes pit-a-pat (你的心突突地跳, nǐde xīn tūtū de tiào).

there's a YouTube video like "why doesn't Chinese have any circles?" and it's a youtuber asking it to a chinese woman in some sort of language museum and she proceeding to explain the entire history of the chinese writing system with zero mention of why there are no circles today. Then the video ends, no answer has been given.

Interesting Japanese word compared to other EA languages: ソ連
[ソれん], (soren), Soviet union Clipped from ソビエト連邦 [ソビエトれんぽう] (sobieto renpō)
Compared to for example Mandarin and Korean, this word is rarely if never written with a kanji. Mandarin: 蘇聯 / 苏联 [sūlián] Korean: 蘇聯 소련 [soryeon] (SK) / 쏘련 [ssoryeon] (NK)
Another funny name for the Soviet Union was 赤露 [せきろ] (sekiro) which means "to be naked" in Mandarin (chìlù).

This is a fun character. The square, 口, on its own means "mouth", so it's like a bunch of shocked open mouths. Plus, it's pronounced like "eugh", which seems fitting. Eugh! 噩!

weird system i made for my chinese based conlang
Strokes: Each stroke is single and continuos, never having breaks when in handwriting; Simple strokes can happen alone, while Complex strokes need to have another stroke to draw from. Each and any stroke can, at times, act as a (1 stroke) radical; Forms represent how a character is shown, they're necessary to represent any character, together they create series of strokes, with, inside that series of strokes, the strokes are separated by space marks, being separated by space marks, with the form being the first one to be input, marks are used to represent more concepts necessary for understanding.
Simple Strokes: Dot. ㇔, D, Small dot, although at times it can be a short line pointing in any of several directions; can not be used in complex strokes. Upward Horizontal. ㇀, T, Dash rightward and upwards, bottom to top, left to right. Horizontal. ㇐, H, Dash rightwards, left to right. Vertical. ㇑, S, Dash downwards, top to bottom. Press. ㇏, N, Dash rightward and downwards, top to bottom, left to right. Throw. ㇒, P, Dash leftward and downwards, top to bottom, right to left. Clockwise. ㇁, W, Dash downwards, top to bottom, concave to the left, convex right. Anticlockwise. ㇂, X, Dash downwards, top to bottom, concave to the right, convex left. Circle. 〇, Q, Anticlockwise circle, in compounds it represents a general loop shape and is free of directionality.
Combining Strokes: Hook. -g, Always put in the end of (simple or complex) strokes, a sharp turn with a hard stop. Rounded. -q-, Always put between two simple strokes, shows that the transition is rounded. Flat. h-, Always put before a simple stroke, makes it lean horizontally throughout it. Straight. s-, Always put before a simple stroke, makes it lean vertically throughout it. Brief. d-. Always put before a simple stroke, makes it small and brief, may sometimes be swapped for a Dot.
Forms: Overlay ⿻: Two characters, or more, overlaid over one another, not necessarily has an order but if a character overshadows the one that's being added to it, it can be put first, and also, in character spanning characters, they're also put last, for the reason listed before. Left-(middle)-Right ⿰, ⿲, Top-(middle)-Bottom ⿱, ⿳: Two or Three characters put either left (to middle) to right or top (to middle) to bottom, with those that come first being either the ones at the left or top, and then descending unto the right and bottom. Full Enclosure ⿴, Top Enclosure ⿵, Bottom Enclosure ⿶, Side Enclosure ⿷, Top Left Enclosure ⿸, Top Right Enclosure ⿹, Bottom Left Enclosure ⿺, Bottom Right Enclosure J⿻: Two characters that enclose one another, the first character being the one that's enclosing, and the other one being the enclosed.
Marks: Number "1, 2, 3…"; Put immediately after a stroke to s=define their sequence when drawing. Break "-"; Used for clarifications sake, used in between two strokes to define that they don't touch. Sum "+"; Used for clarifications sake, used in between forms to show that a characters form of interaction is in between. Length ">, <"; Used for clarifications sake, used in between strokes to define that one is significantly smaller or larger than another, with "⿻S > H" meaning that S is significantly shorter than H, and with "⿻S < H" meaning the opposite. Root "], ["; Used for clarifications sake, to show that a series of stroke comes first, literally like how parenthesis work in mathematics, with [ used to start, and ] to end it. Span "O⿻, A⿻, V⿻, H⿻"; Used for clarifications sake in character spanning overlays, O⿻ means a character span that's spans only in the inside of the character, A⿻ means that it starts spanning in the outside but ends in the inside, V⿻ means one that starts inside and ends outside, H⿻ means one that span the character fully, starting outside and ending outside.
So in this convoluted system, a character like, lets say 文 can be written as "⿻[⿱D1 [⿱H2 P3]] N4", like Ideographic Description Sequences, i normally use this one in conjunction with the more IDS system for characters i made for my own conlang, with an advantage being that you can clearly see the stroke order and how the character is made in more clarity, like the ambiguity between 土 and 士 in IDS (both have the "⿱十一" code) fades away (with them having "⿱[⿻H1 S2] < H3" for 土, and "⿱[⿻H1 S2] > H3" for 士).
It works for my conlang and it's the thing I'm most proud about it, i know that it has it's flaws, specially how complex it gets for characters larger than 6 strokes, but it can be a good for some uses, even though IDS still works for most things.
