Andrew Christopher West (Chinese: 魏安; pinyin: Wèi Ān; born 31 March 1960) is an English Sinologist. His first works concerned Chinese novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties. His study of Romance of the Three Kingdoms used a new approach to analyse the relationship among the various versions, extrapolating the original text of that novel.[1][2]

West compiled a catalogue for the Chinese-language library of the English missionaryRobert Morrison containing 893 books representing in total some 10,000 string-bound fascicules.[3][4]

BabelMap is a free character map application for Windows that allows you to browse through the entire Unicode character repertoire of over 110,000 characters, or search for a particular character. The online portfolio of p le couteur.

His subsequent work is in the minority languages of China, especially Khitan, Manchu, and Mongolian. He proposed an encoding scheme for the 'Phags-pa script,[5] which was subsequently included in Unicode version 5.0.

West has also worked to encode gaming symbols and phonetic characters to the UCS, and has been working on encodings for Tangut and Jurchen.
