Tips

culture
Loose phonetic match for "Xerox": (shī) ≈ "xer", (lè) ≈ "ox". Xerox PARC famously developed the graphical user interface, the mouse and Ethernet in the 1970s — innovations later commercialized by Apple and Microsoft.
mistakes
The character has two readings: lè ("happy") and yuè ("music"). In the brand name 施乐 it's lè, never yuè.
