In many contemporary dictionaries, including Xinhua Zidian, Xiandai Hanyu Cidian and Oxford Chinese Dictionary, [14] the radical-based character lookup system consists of three indexes or tables: a radical index, a character lookup index, and an index of characters with radicals difficult to find, all sorted in stroke-based order. To lookup a ...
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.
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 character external structure is on how the writing units are combined level by level into a complete character. There are three levels of structural units of Chinese characters: strokes, components, and whole characters. [3] For example, character 字 (character) is composed of two components, each of which is composed of three stokes:
The Table of Indexing Chinese Character Components [1] (simplified Chinese: 汉字部首表; traditional Chinese: 漢字部首表; pinyin: hànzì bùshǒu biǎo; lit. 'Chinese character radicals table') is a lexicographic tool used to order the Chinese characters in mainland China. The specification is also known as GF 0011-2009.
There are 20,902 Chinese characters, including simplified and traditional characters from China, Japan and Korea (CJK). [19] The stroke numbers of characters range from 1 to 48 strokes. The 12-strokes group has the most characters, taking 9.358% of the character set. On the average, there are 12.845 strokes per character. [20] [18]
When the number of strokes of the two Chinese characters are the same, their corresponding strokes are compared pair by pair according to stroke order to make order of the characters. The strokes of Chinese characters are divided into five groups: 1. heng (héng, 横, horizontal; this group include primary stroke ㇐ and secondary stroke ㇀), 2.
In the rare cases where more than one glyph or stroke order exist for a Chinese character, YES follows the fonts and stroke order in the Standard of GB13000.1 Character Set Chinese Character Order (Stroke-Based Order) [16] in its current implementations, because this standard covers all the 20,902 Unicode CJK characters and has a larger user ...
