Chinese characters are written with "strokes" of a brush. The
HanABC system has classified these different types of strokes using
24 Roman letters. Anyone who knows the proper stroke writing order
of a character and the HanABC stroke classification system can
write the "Romanization" of that character. Since the Roman
alphabet has an established and well known order, HanABC has
adopted this alphabetical order to sort Chinese information. This
book includes the HanABC Romanizations for 14,515 Chinese
characters. HanABC does not require a person to know the
traditional radical, the number of strokes or the phonetics of a
character. HanABC requires minimal rules, while still efficiently
encoding the entirety of Chinese characters. HanABC facilitates
quick and easy search in a sorted list. Thus, HanABC would be very
well suited to sort dictionaries and telephone books, to index any
book, or even for typing Chinese at a computer keyboard.
