Stroke number or stroke count is the number of strokes making up a character. Stroke count plays an important role in Chinese character sorting, teaching and computer information processing. [ 2 ] Stroke numbers vary dramatically from characters to characters, for example, characters 丶 , 一 and 乙 have only one stroke, while the character ...
Stroke numbers vary dramatically, for example, characters "丶", "一" and "乙" have only one stroke, while character "齉" has 36 strokes, and "龘" (three 龍s, dragons) 48 strokes. The Chinese character with the most strokes in the entire Unicode character set is "𪚥" (four 龍s) of 64 strokes.
This standard stipulates the stroke orders for the 8,105 characters in the List of Commonly Used Standard Chinese Characters. [3] and can be used for Chinese character information processing, publishing and printing, reference book compilation, etc. It can also be used for teaching and research of Chinese characters.
In this order, Chinese characters are sorted by their stroke count ascendingly. A character with less strokes is put before those of more strokes. [6] For example, the different characters in "漢字筆劃, 汉字笔画 " (Chinese character strokes) are sorted into "汉(5)字(6)画(8)笔(10)[筆(12)畫(12)]漢(14)", where stroke counts are put in brackets.
In this table (Chinese name: GB13000.1字符集汉字字序表), all the 20,902 CJK (China, Japan and Korea) Chinese characters are sorted in standard order, covering over 700 A4 pages. Each character is represented by an entry, with the contents of: "serial number, Chinese character, number of strokes, stroke order, and Unicode, etc".
Character dictionaries have historically been indexed using radical-and-stroke sorting, where characters are grouped by radical and sorted within each group by stroke number. Some modern dictionaries arrange character entries alphabetically according to their pinyin spelling, while also providing a traditional radical-based index.
Strokes (笔画; 筆劃; bǐhuà) are the smallest building units of Chinese characters. When writing a Chinese character, the trace of a dot or a line left on the writing material (such as paper) from pen-down to pen-up is called a stroke. [4] Strokes combine with each other in a Chinese character in different ways.
