'''Manzu''' {{kana|萬子}}, or '''man/wan''' {{kana|萬}} for short, composes the character tiles. The Chinese characters or Japanese kanji are used to indicate the numbers 1-9. While some sets have the alphanumeric representations of the numbers superscript on the upper right corners, it is actually best to remember the kanji for 1-9. Standard Japanese sets lack these alphanumeric superscripts.  The character for man means "ten thousand". <ref>http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/萬#Japanese</ref>
'''Manzu''' {{kana|萬子}}, or '''man/wan''' {{kana|萬}} for short, composes the character tiles. Each tile displays two characters. A Chinese character or Japanese kanji are used to indicate the numbers 1-9 on the upper side of each tile. The lower character on each tile means "ten thousand". While some sets have the alphanumeric representations of the numbers superscript on the upper right corners, standard Japanese sets lack these alphanumeric superscripts. For such sets, it is best to memorize the kanji for 1-9.
