Trivia

Wo-Chien may be modeled after a snail, most likely a whelk. Its shell is based on the bamboo slips, narrow strips of bamboo used as writing media prior to the introduction of paper.

Name origin

Wo-Chien may be a combination of 蝸 / 蜗 wō (Chinese for snail) and 簡 / 简 jiǎn (Chinese for bamboo slips).

Chionjen may be a combination of 蟲 / 虫 chóng (Chinese for bug) and 簡 / 简 jiǎn (Chinese for bamboo slips).
