jixuun [wt] [HTB] [wiki] u: ji'uun; ; [[...]][i#] [p.]
special characters used in the name of the family for indicating their generation (There are, for instance, four persons whose names are "Ko Tek-jin" 高德仁 "Ko Tek-gi" 高德義 "Ko Tek-le" 高德禮 "Ko Tek-ti" 高德智. Once we look at their names, we know that they are either brothers or cousins. In this case "tek" 德 is their "ji-un". Of course the next generation has another special character for its "ji-un".)
