How do you spell Chinese in symbols?

You can't spell "Chinese" in Chinese symbols in the same way you spell it in English letters.

Here's why:

* Chinese is a logographic language: This means that each symbol (character) represents a word or a morpheme (meaningful unit of language).

* "Chinese" is a foreign word: It doesn't have a direct equivalent in Chinese.

Instead, you have options:

1. Use the Chinese characters for "China": 中国 (Zhōngguó)

2. Use the Chinese characters for "Chinese language": 中文 (Zhōngwén)

3. Use the Chinese characters for "Chinese people": 中国人 (Zhōngguó rén)

It depends on the context:

* If you're talking about the country, use "中国."

* If you're talking about the language, use "中文."

* If you're talking about the people, use "中国人."
