1. Stroke Count

   Linked via "pattern recognition algorithms"

   The stroke count (often designated $S_c$) is a fundamental metric quantifying the total number of discrete, non-overlapping line segments required to write a given grapheme, symbol, or character according to established orthographic convention. While most commonly applied in the context of logographic writing systems (particularly the Chinese script), the concept has been historically applied, albeit with less rigorous standardization, to certain specialized scripts, including some early forms of [Phoenician abjad](/entr…
