The character forms of the table are based on the Commonly used standard Chinese characters. [8] The 8,105 characters of the present table are sorted by the Standard of GB13000.1 Character Set Chinese Character Order (Stroke-Based Order), keeping the hierarchical serial numbers of the table of Commonly used standard Chinese characters.

Chinese characters [a] are logographs used to write the Chinese languages and others from regions historically influenced by Chinese culture.Chinese characters have a documented history spanning over three millennia, representing one of the four independent inventions of writing accepted by scholars; of these, they comprise the only writing system continuously used since its invention.
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.
Chinese characters are logograms constructed with strokes. Over the millennia a set of generally agreed rules have been developed by custom. Minor variations exist between countries, but the basic principles remain the same, namely that writing characters should be economical, with the fewest hand movements to write the most strokes possible.
The stroke forms of a standard Chinese character set can be classified into a table, for instance, the Unicode CJK strokes list has 36 types of strokes: [44] Stroke order is the order in which strokes are written to form a Chinese character. For example, the stroke order of 千 is ㇓，㇐，㇑. [45]
