Tips

usage
Phonetic transliteration: (xiào, 'sh-'), (tè, '-or-'), (sī, '-ts/s'). Characters are sound-only, not meaningful here. The combination is recurrent in Western-name renderings (compare 特斯拉 Tesla, 福斯特 Foster).
memory
Note: the character has two readings — Xiào (used in surnames, abbreviations of ) and xiāo (in 肖像 'portrait'). In transliterations, the surname reading Xiào is the convention.
