Coding Principle : Single Character
1. Order of coding : start from the top left-hand corner, then the top right-hand corner, next followed by the bottom left-hand corner and finally the bottom right-hand corner. Example : CKC code for the character "的" is 0760
2. When there are more than 1 way to encode, use one which covers more strokes of the character. Example : the CKC code for the character "綜 " is 2399 as opposed to 2393.
3. Encode each of the shapes ONCE only. Example : the CKC code for the character "香" is 06 as opposed to 0066.
4. When there are more than 1 way to encode, code of the strokes at the left-most or right-most side of the character is preferred. Example : the CKC code for the character "非" is 1111 as opposed to 2222.
5. Strokes positioned at the top most of the character is given priority to code rather than those at lower position. Example : The CKC code for the character "成" is 5307 as opposed to 7307.

Famous quotes containing the words principle, single and/or character:
“The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
—Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)
“The character of the crowds is made up of mimicry and hostility.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
