The most difficult letter/character of the world..

Chinese speaker here, legend says this character (biang) described the process of creating the type of noodle.

From top to bottom, left to right:

[穴] (hole): the special vessel needed for kneading this type of noodle.

[幺] resembles 絞: the kneading and twisting action

[言] is a word play (homonyms?) on 鹽: a kind of white crystal added to the noodles, also known as just salt

[月] (moon): the word is also commonly used as a “prefix” of meat related words

[長] (long) and [馬] (horse): describes the extra long and flat shape of the noodle (there is a common Chinese idiom that describes flat surface that mentioned horses)

[刂] (knife prefix): cutting motion

[心] (heart): the secret ingredient is love?

[辶] (travel prefix): some said it’s to relate with a special kind of cart used in that area, maybe it’s use to imply how people travel from far away for this noodle.

Or it might just be a word made for fun by some Highschool kid while eating the noodle. You decide 😀

Btw I think the most complicated valid character you can type on Reddit is 龘, a flying dragon.

Edit: choice of words and pronunciation Also these “prefix” are actually radicals! I just thought “prefix” might be easier to understand.
