characters
with very different meaning.

漢字發音有四個主 "調 (tone)":

平 (flat) 1   上 (upper) 2   去 (curve) 3   入 (down) 4

另加一個 "輕 (light)" 音   5 (或 無)

There are 5 possible tones: 4 major tones and a "light" tone.
Normally, the major tones are labeled as following.

Tone 1: flat
Tone 2: up
Tone 3: curve
Tone 4: down

The 5th tone is called "light" tone, marked as 5 or "no number".

Characters with light tone should be pronounced light and fast,
the only exception is it is pronounced about the "same duration".

GeoStroke's Way to Code

10 code-indicating strokes

SIMPLE RULES :

I. Following the Z sequence

II. When taking a CODE,
only the GEOMETRY SHAPE of the "stroke"
at the location is considered,
NOTHING else.
