The Chinese Character with the Most Strokes 画数のもっとも多い漢字

  画数の一番多い漢字はなんでしょうか。

  日本語にはなくて、しかも通常のフォントデータにもないので、画像でしか紹介できないが、一番有名なのは、龍が四つ(2X2)並べる漢字です。龍は四つもあるので、意味は「危惧、恐怖」です。

  他には最多ではないが、男三つ(品と同じ構造)という字もあります。意味不詳だそうですが、ゲイ系の意味があるでしょうか。

  There are said to be more than 80,000 Chinese characters ever created, or recorded in all the dictionaries. One interesting question is: what is the Chinese character with the most number of strokes?
  The answer is: "Zhe" (Chinese pronunciation) which is consisted of 4 "dragon", two on the top and two at the bottom. It basically means threat or fear.
  Below are some funny Chinese characters as shown in Baidu. The one on the top right is the champion. "Biang" is used to be considered the champion. Although it is not any more, it is no doubt the most complex one.
  Below is a larger version of "Biang", copied from here.
