Character-by-character breakdown

In Chinese, Bennett is written with 3 characters, each standing for one syllable of the sound: 贝 (Bèi), 内 (nèi), 特 (tè). Each character here is a phonetic unit — picked for how it sounds, not for what it means — so read together they echo Bennett rather than spelling out a literal meaning.
