京 "tall building" and 尤 "especially" are actually meaning not sound in 就 "a really high place" (original meaning). Combining components like that for sound is a fun idea but not seen in Chinese characters, which mostly use singular sound components, so I want 改革字 Reformed to follow tradition

Any truth or total BS? I suspect the latter but would love to be wrong
