I am thinking of getting a seal made while I am in China. Years ago, my Chinese Culture professor (Lee Shao Chang, as we wrote it then), gave me a name: chi li fu (now, I suppose qi li fu) which he wrote with (Unicode/GB/Big5 -- I can't get any of these to print right consistently) qi2 "pray" (7948/C6ED/ACE8) fu2 "good fortune" (798F/B8A2/BAD6) but for li he used something that looks like the phonetic of li4 "sharp"(4FD0/C0FE/AB57), that is, without the "man" radical. The meaning he gave it was that for li3 "bountiful"(8C4A/-/E054). So after all these years I have to ask (before I get my seal cut) whether Dr. Lee was having a joke on me or whether his character is a legitimate way of writing li3 "bountiful" or whether he just goofed. (I don't expect you to figure out the first part, so the second and third are the important ones).
