does "misspelling" exist in Chinese written language? If so, how common it is? Any example?

i guess no! Because Chinese written language are not "spelled", they are more like composed of some symbols.

If you define "misspelling" as "using the wrong word with the same pronunciation to compose a term", we do have something like that.

e.g. "另外" and "令外" pronounce the same, the first one means "besides", but the second one is just a miswriting/misspelling

I think the definition is misspelling in English is different from Chinese but all of your comments are helping me to clarify the difference

In my mind it has sense but I don't know how to explain it with words

Ok, in English like in Chinese you can misspell because of similar sound but sometimes you misspell because you forget a letter or add ..

another letter by mistake (like when you type too fast). Does the second type of mistake exist in Chinese?

We will not forget letter since Chinese is not a spelling language, each character has its own shape

About typing too fast, it depends on what input methods you used.
