In the Taiwan Ministry of Education's Dictionary of Chinese Variant Form (Chinese: 異體字字典; pinyin: yìtǐzì zìdiǎn) Digital Edition, the Common National Characters are coded as A. The Less-Than-Common Characters are designated to B and changed to 6,329 characters.
In a smaller number of cases, a single traditional character is mapped to multiple simplified characters as the character is only simplified in one of its usages. The following is an exhaustive list of all characters whose simplified and traditional forms do not map in a one-to-one manner.
Most Chinese characters represent only one morpheme, and in that case the meaning of the character is the meaning of the morpheme recorded by the character. For example: 猫: māo, cat, the name of a domestic animal that can catch mice. The morpheme "māo" has one meaning, and the Chinese character "猫" also has one meaning.
In the special cases of one-stroke characters, such as 一 and 乙, a stroke is a component and is a character. Chinese character component analysis is to divide or separate a character into components.

Chinese character components (部件; bùjiàn) are Chinese character building blocks composed of strokes. [6] In most cases, a component is larger than a stroke (i.e., consists of more than one stroke) and smaller than the whole character (combines with some other components to form a character).
A component that can independently form a character is a character component, or a component of independent character formation (成字部件). For example, component 口 formed character 口 independently, and is a component in characters 另 , 洁 and 唱 ; and component 相 is also a character by itself, and a component in 湘 , 箱 and 想 .
The character now expresses the meaning of awakening or is used in a person's name. Some are simplified characters. For example: 头 (head): The traditional Chinese character is “頭”, semantic component 頁 and phonetic component 豆. The simplified character component 大 and the two dots are pure-form components.
The Standard Form of National Characters tends to adopt orthodox variants for most of its characters, but it still adopts many common vulgar variants. Many have their components rearranged. For example: 群 [2] The orthodox form of this character has 君 above 羊, i.e. 羣. 峰 [3] The orthodox form of this character has 山 above 夆, i.e. 峯.
