Simply a difficult Chinese character

Created by A.Z. on June 19, 2013

People who have been to Xi'an,China may notice many noodle shops sell a kind of delicious noodle named 'Biang Biang'. It has a chinese character dedicated for the noodble but it has 56 strokes. It takes people years to remember and what's more it can't be writen by computer. I suggest to substitute its complicated 54 strokes by letter 'B' and keep the left and botom two strokes unchanged. It looks like a real Chinese character but easy to remember and write by all people including Americans. see details at http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/kyleandalex/biang526F672C_zps68...
If any noodle shop owners and Chinese people donate for my effort to make their language and life simple, I will forward the money to American Red Cross for its maxium use. Thank you!
