    I would like to add a couple of Chinese characters: 金木水火土

    In ancient China, people thought the world consisted of 5 elements: 金(gold), 木(wood), 水(water), 火(fire), 土(dirt).

    Also they named the 5 planets closely circling around Sun: 金星(Venus), 木星(Jupiter) 水星(Mercury) 火星(Mars) 土星(Saturn).

    Triple each word, and they are still valid Chinese characters:
    鑫森淼焱垚, others include 众品.

    Can anyone think of more such words?

    right, you’ve got another one:
    triple 日(the Sun) becomes 晶 (shining).

    In order to input Chinese, you can add “Chinese” as one of the languages in Windows “Control Panel” -> “Reginal and Lanugage Options”; or you can down Google Pinyin Input method from website: http://tools.google.com/pinyin/
