What is the meaning of 人児, and is it a compound?


There's this rather unpleasant sign on a restaurant that says:

> 中国人＆帰化人、残留孤児、中国系混血人児、絶対入店禁止、純血日本男児のみ。

Putting aside the racist content, from a linguistic point of view, the one
word that throws me is 人児. It's not in
[Yahoo](http://dic.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?p=%E4%BA%BA%E5%85%90&aq=-1&oq=&r_dtype=all&ei=UTF-8),
[Denshi
Jisho](http://www.jisho.org/words?jap=%E4%BA%BA%E5%85%90&eng=&dict=edict), or
[Goo](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/srch/all/%E4%BA%BA%E5%85%90/m0u/)
dictionaries.

I know in general that it means people and children, but I'm unclear on
exactly how to read and define it.

What is the right reading? ひとこ、ひとじ、じんこ、じんじ?

And does it mean "young people", or "adults and kids", or "adults or
children", or something else?

Lastly, is it actually a compound, or is it just the two individual kanji with
their individual meanings that are beside each other like a list (as in
"adults, children")?




児 is just means child, but could also be used for adopted, and can even used
to non-humans.

the one you seen in 中国系混血人児 is not supposed to be 人児, but which should be

> 中国系(ちゅうごくけい) + 混血人(こんけつじん) + 児（じ） - chinese related (japanese) + mixed blood
> people's + child

**Note** : according to some searches, that place is looks like adult store or
kind of, sometimes sex related places here reject for foreigner for several
(even strange) reasons, but that one is too much. I think that poster might be
even offensive for Japanese. And they could be choosing only Japanese to do
something bad for example.
