CKC Chinese Input System - Coding Principle : Single Character

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 ""   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 " " is 2399 as opposed to 2393.

3. Encode each of the shapes ONCE only. Example : the CKC code for the character ""  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 "" 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 "" is 5307 as opposed to 7307.

Famous quotes containing the words principle, single and/or character:

    Experimental work provides the strongest evidence for scientific realism. This is not because we test hypotheses about entities. It is because entities that in principle cannot be ‘observed’ are manipulated to produce a new phenomena
    [sic] and to investigate other aspects of nature.
    Ian Hacking (b. 1936)

    ... the ... thing I am proudest of in my whole business life is that I do not take, that I never took in all my life, and never, never! will take, one single penny more than 6% on any loan or any contract.
    Hetty Green (1834–1916)

    You know that the beginning is the most important part of any work, especially in the case of a young and tender thing; for that is the time at which the character is being framed.
    Plato (5th century B.C.)
