Officer Details

Wade-Giles: Hu Ch‘ê–êrh
Simplified Chinese: 胡赤儿
Pronunciation: Hu2 Chi4er2  

Name Notes: Hu Che’er is frequently confused with Hu Juer of Zhang Xiu, but they are, indeed, separate people. Hu Che’er’s name is sometimes typed with or without an apostrophe (Che’er or Cheer), and at times with a hypen instead (Che-er). To complicate matters further, sometimes his name is mistranslated as ‘Chi’er’, with all the according grammatical variations. The Chinese character 赤is actually pronounced Chi4, so the correct spelling of this name should be Hu Chi’er.
