How many homophones for "shi" are there in Chinese - with or without considering tones? I'm curious as to how many Chinese characters correspond to the pinyin "shi", such as 是 时 十 事 史 and so on. Is there an exact number of how many words (besides really archaic ones nobody uses) use this pronunciation?
Please see the pictures，the characters in the red box are common used.
