Doraemon is probably meant to be a plausible name, 銅鑼衛門.

<p>I am learning Chinese by reading different texts. I have some problems recognizing some characters in this older copy of a book (the Chinese character is sometimes too dark to distinguish strokes and scanning doesn't help). Here is the work that I have done so far. Thank you for any help finding the missing characters (<strong>I do not need the translations</strong>, per se but just seeing a clear copy of the character would be helpful). In some cases if I have a question on context I have presented those issues. There are multiple questions because I want to show the work in context. I could break these up into smaller questions but that would not be helpful to other learners (learning conversation) and would unnecessarily clog the website.</p>

Voting to reopen - The reason given for the off-topic votes seem incorrect. Although I ask for help with ~12 characters (out of 60+ characters), I did show all my of my prior effort. I think the question is valuable to new learners (like me) because it shows conversation in context. If seeking points I could have broken these into multiple questions but my goal is to learn to read/speak/write Mandarin, and I hope to help others do the same. Technology cannot answer the problem of understanding what is read, which is why this forum exists, right? Hope you will join me to reopen this question.

I am learning Chinese by reading different texts. I have some problems recognizing some characters in this older copy of a book (the Chinese character is sometimes too dark to distinguish strokes and scanning doesn't help). Here is the work that I have done so far. Thank you for any help finding the missing characters (**I do not need the translations**, per se but just seeing a clear copy of the character would be helpful). In some cases if I have a question on context I have presented those issues. There are multiple questions because I want to show the work in context. I could break these up into smaller questions but that would not be helpful to other learners (learning conversation) and would unnecessarily clog the website.
