注音符号 -- 注音不好!

Bopomofo or Zhuyin Fuhao: A notation system for the pronunciation of Chinese which uses symbols similar to Chinese characters. This would have been an opportunity to create an alphabet whose letters actually reflect the sounds that they represent. Similar sounds could get similar symbols to speed up learning and make differences of similar sounds more clear.
Some people say that zhuyin actually reflects the shape of the mouth when pronouncing certain sounds. But in my opinion the opportunity to create something really well-designed was largely missed! This is very sad.
In order to learn zhuyin myself I made the following translation chart to pinyin in which similar letters are grouped together. You can see that there is only very little similarity between similar sounding phones, but there are a lot of false friends.

If you like archaic notations and false friends, then bopomofo is for you!

PS: Also being proud of the post title which is my first Chinese word play, although I don't know if Chinese ppl would consider it one.
