Tips

usage
Hong Kong writes him 活地亚伦 (wut⁶ dei⁶ aa³ leon⁴), a name built on Cantonese sound: in Cantonese its first half is close to 'Woody', while in Mandarin it would read huódì.
mistakes
The name uses · (the 间隔号, 'separator dot') between given name and surname. This Unicode middle dot (U+00B7) is the standard convention for foreign full names in Chinese - never substitute a Chinese-period 。 or a hyphen.
