The Chinese characters with special requests can be separated into squared Latin letters and/or squared numerals which helped the deformable Chinese character to line with the visual logic and visual law.

(81) A movable connecting bolt provided in the connections of the Latin letter strokes allows the Latin letter strokes to rotate and deform within a fixed moving range to form the requested Chinese character, which greatly reduced the number of coding roots. This new Chinese character structuring mode will change the traditional concept of understanding and writing of Chinese characters.

(82) The concise root table of the Chinese input method of the present invention has a profound significance of changing the mindset of learning, reading, writing and inputting of Chinese characters. A new theory of teaching and inputting Chinese characters is established by changing the relationship between Latin letters and Chinese characters, which provides vitality to the abstract Chinese character strokes. The squared Latin letters are formed by the undestroyed Chinese character strokes, such as dots, vertical strokes, horizontal strokes, right-falling strokes, throw strokes, turning strokes.
