Gridwrite for Chinese, part 2

In this post, two reference charts, one for traditional chinese and one for simplified chinese are given. The charts list a collection of radicals and their corresponding Gridwrite code numbers. Radicals are parts built by the 27 basic strokes that we had mentioned on part one of this blog and they acted as components in chinese characters.

As an example, the chinese character '鉛' (meaning the metal 'lead'), the part on the left '釒' is a radical.

Many radicals are actually formed by a modification from a character. The radical '釒' is actually formed from the chinese character '金' (meaning the metal 'gold'). Two general rules exist between a chinese character and it's modified radical :

1. For all stroke type 7 that contained in the character, change it to stroke type 3.
2. When the last stroke of the character is stroke type 2 and the stroke is not a bounded stroke, change it to stoke type 6.

It can be seen that the gridwrite code for the character '金' is 67221'62. According to the rules, all stroke type with 7 would be converted to "'" which represents stroke type 3. The last stroke of '金' is not a bounded stroke and it is stroke type 2, so it is changed to stroke type 6, hence resulting code for the radical '釒' is 6'221'66.


For a bounded stroke, it can referenced to the character '日' where the last stroke type 2 is bounded.

Since radicals are standard parts of chinese characters, knowing the code number of those parts would be critical for entering correct code number of a chinese character.

Get familiar with these charts and it would become easy to input code number for any chinese character.
