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.
