''Manzu'', or ''man/wan'' 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. | '''Manzu''', or '''man/wan''' for short, composes the character tiles.

''Kazehai'' are the wind tiles. They are indicated as East, South, West, and North. The wind tiles correlate to the player seating, and so therefore, it is best to remember the wind tiles in the East, South, West, and North order, as they correspond to the seating order. Likewise, this is significant to note for [[yakuhai]]. | '''[[Kazehai]]''' are the wind tiles. They are indicated as East, South, West, and North.
