Z

When you encounter two characters with the same Hanyu Pinyin romanization, it is possible that they represent different Chinese characters with the same pronunciation.

There are four main tones in Hanyu Pinyin (yīng, yáng, shǎng, ), as well as a light tone. The light tone has no diacritical tone marks. Due to the difficulty in entering the diacritical tone marks in computers, it is common to see the them replaced by numbers in the form ying1, yang2, shang3 and qu4. Also, ü is often entered as v or uu for the same reason.
