This appendix provides additional documentation regarding each of the CJK stroke characters encoded in the CJK Strokes block (U+31C0..U+31EF). For a general introduction to CJK characters and CJK strokes, see Section 18.1, Han.
The information in Table F-1 gives five types of identifying data for each CJK stroke. Each stroke is also exemplified in a spanning lower row, with a varying number of examples, as appropriate. The information contained in each of the five columns and in the examples row is described more specifically below.
Stroke:A representative glyph for each CJK stroke character, with its Unicode code point shown underneath.
Acronym: The abbreviation used in the Unicode character name for the CJK stroke character.
Pīnyīn: The Hanyu Pinyin (Modern Standard Chinese) romanization of the stroke name (as given in the next column).
Name: A traditional name for this stroke, as written in Han characters.
Variant: Alternative (context-specific) forms of the representative glyph for this stroke, if any.
Examples: Representative glyphs and variant forms of CJK unified ideographs, exemplifying typical usage of this stroke type in Han characters. The stroke or strokes in question are highlighted in red to make it easier to spot them in the example glyphs. Each example glyph (or variant) is followed by the Unicode code point for the CJK unified ideograph character it represents, for easy reference.
The CJK stroke characters in the table are ordered according to the traditional “Five Types.”
