ABSTRACT:
This method is for encoding and retrieval of Chinese ideographic characters which have been digitized into a machine-compatible format and stored in an accessible memory device. The storage location of each character is identified by a unique numerical code of base ten generated by the present encoding and retrieval method. Each of the nine basic strokes plus a zero stroke used to write all Chinese characters is assigned an arbitrary numerical equivalent; a unique numerical code for each character is generated by assembling the strokes in the same manner used to write the character and following the commonly-used rules establishing the sequence in which the strokes are written. The basic strokes representing the forms and the stroking sequence rules are combined to form a simulated guide character which serves as a mnemonic symbol to aid the encoding of the Chinese character and also serves to identify this scheme as a simulated character method of encoding ideographic character. Based on this simulated character method, an ideographic character machine can be designed; thus, typing in a set of numeric code of base ten can retrieve its correspondent ideographic character in print-out form.
