深セン

Etymology

The spelling is borrowed from Chinese. Sen is not an expected on-reading of 圳 and may derive from 川's on-reading of sen, which serves as a kan'yoon reading.

Also, the character "圳" isn't included in the first Japanese encoding system (due to its inclusion in the JIS X 0213 encoding), so the city name is commonly written as 深セン.

Proper noun

深圳 (hiragana しんせん, rōmaji Shinsen)

Shenzhen
