Among Chinese characters there are two characters which have only one stroke, they are “一”(one ) and “乙”(the second of the ten Celestial Stems),the most complicated simplified character has 36 strokes, it is “齉”nàng (snuffling).
Majority of Chinese characters consist of 9-strokes, it is about 11,1%, after them follow 10 and 8-strokes characters.
Majority of Chinese characters belong to pictophonetic group and formed by two parts: the meaning element and the sound element. Ancient Chinese book 《说文解字》(Explanation of Chinese Characters) includes 9395 characters, 82% of them are pictophonetic characters.
60-67% of Chinese characters have left-right structure, character components are written in direction from left to right.
The most common character in articles in Chinese Characters Dictionary is “的”(reserved word), it appears ones for every 25 characters.
The most popular character component is “口”(mouth), about 20 from 100 characters have "mouth" component is their structure.
Few Chinese characters have different readings, character “那”has 8 different readings and as a result different meanings.
A small group of Chinese characters are formed by doubling, trebling or even quadrupling the same character component. Some of these characters are not used in modern Chinese language, some of them are often chosen for people's names, but each of these characters can be served as a good sample of associative logic of the Chinese.
