The character for saw meaning either book or written character, 𭨡, has a 書'book' radical on the left and a 史'scholar' radical on the right. Similarly, ndip 'raw', 'uncooked', 'unripe', 𮄫, is composed of the ⽴'STAND' and ⽣'LIFE' radicals. At present, there are limitations in displaying Zhuang logograms as many have only recently been encoded in Unicode and are only supported by a few fonts. Sawndip characters have not been standardised, and different writers use different characters for the same word; the examples here are from Sawndip Sawdenj.[1]
