You can notice that the second one &#039;順&#039; is different(right half) comparing to the simplified version 顺.

Possible, but i am not sure. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope it helps. it&#039;s my first translation help! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
