⚠️ NOTES:
1) All historical examples of Hanzi writing are taken from this site: https://www.zdic.net
2) Mutually explanatory characters are sometimes called "transfer characters".
3) Technically I should have said "loaned character" [9:46]
4) Most elements are metals, but you can see that all the gases are basically composites of the "air" character (气) and a phonetic component. [10:50]
