The 分 family
分 · fēn · fèn part · ㄈㄣ — to divide
Know 分 and the readings of 8 more characters follow: 份、芬、酚、粉、氛、紛、吩、盆. In traditional Chinese, most characters carry a sound component — a phonetic — and learning the phonetic once lights up its whole family. This page is that family, drawn live from the map.
