I once did a little project where I looked for phonetic components of about 20,000 characters. More than 90% had a phonetic component, but most of those characters are extremely rare. In the first 300 characters a learner would study, there were about 5 characters with phonetic components. Phonetics don't really start to make a difference until about 2000 characters in. |
