Favourite Chinese characters

What are yours?

For me it's 楓. It looks so damn awesome in a Ming font, like it's about to smash somebody. 亞 is cool because no matter how many times I try to memorize its stroke order I forget it every time. 曲 and 田 also look great due to their proper geometric shapes.
Simplified characters I like include 当, 网, 丽 and 杰. There aren't many good simplified characters, but these definitely are.

My favourites are 乒乓。 I love how visually the dot on the bottom moves from left to right to represent the ping pong ball going back and forth.  Some characters are absolutely genius like that.  Other ones are 凹 and 凸, which are concave and convex respectively. 

Otherwise, I tend to like everything with long sweeping strokes like 之.  I can never get them to look quite right with a brush though...

凹 and 凸 are bitchy. Several very respectable dictionaries I reference provide two different stroke orders for 凸, moreover MS IME pad recognizes none of these and instead has its own one, obviously different too. I often just improvise with stroke order, sometimes drawing the whole character in a single stroke when having no time.

really?  Both the resources I tend to use give me the same thing, and the Windows tablet input for Chinese (which i presume is MS IDE considering it came with Windows) seems to recognise it too.  Unfortunately my calligraphy book doesn't have them listed.  I tend to use www.mdbg.net for these things, what are you using?

Those were Japanese actually, didn't try it with Chinese. Seemingly Japs know shit 'bout Chinese writing...

http://oct-kun.net/kakizyun/index.html - pretty much sums up what I was doing.

國 seems really pretty to me. I like the ones with enclosures.

Possibly the most complex Chinese character 龘 tà meaning "the appearance of a dragon walking".

Oh wow, yeah, that's a seriously fucked up stroke order.  No wonder nothing ever recognised it.

For me, there's stuff like "凸", as in "[-_-]凸"... [^_-]
Also, "黒" reminds me of Space Invaders.

鸟 (bird) is awesome because it pretty much looks like a bird, and 姦 is cool too because it consists of 3 women stacked in a pyramid.

You forgot to mention it doesn't mean "sisterhood" or anything like that :P

妹
I love repeating it like 妹妹 (mei-mei), that's so damn nasty.

I've always liked 承 a lot.

鱼 because it looks like a god damn fish.
