Are the Chinese characters really known to have been by Ernest Bramah himself, as opposed to speculations by others? In any case, Bramah would almost certainly not have used Unicode character U99F9, which is a PRC "simplified" character which would not have been part of any official Chinese orthography until well after his death. The image http://home.freeuk.com/ctol2001/img/kanji.jpg actually shows Unicode character U9F8D. I'm a little dubious about the whole thing, but as a minimum step I'm replacing U99F9 with U9F8D.

It occurs to me that Bramah may have named his character after the famous 1st-2nd century official and inventor Cai Lun (also transliterated as Tsai Lung, etc.). I wonder if there are any references that would corroborate (or refute) this. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.122.56.237 ( talk) 12:17, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
