What a coincidence! This is my surname - 曾. In Cantonese, it is spelt as 'Tsang', which is also the surname of the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Donald Tsang. I say it and spell it as 'Tsang' because my family speaks Cantonese.
In Mandarin, it is spelt as 'Zeng'.

Yeah, that character is pronounced "Zeng" and can also be spelled "Tseng". The character for "Chen", or "Chan" would be éã And "Can" (also spelled "Tsan") would be ç¿ãHope this helps!
