Question: is there a unique "best" encoding for each character?

Hi eweitnauer,

Good question! I usually choose the more concise way to encode the characters when there are multiple options, as long as it doesn’t cause confusion/ugliness.

Additionally, some components that doesn’t have apparent horizontal/vertical structure can be encoded either using “row-major” (1-2)|(3-4) or “column major” (1|3)-(2|4). In these situations, if the components is often packed horizontally with other components, I will use column major and vice versa to make the result look nicer. For example, the strokes in (1|3)-(2|4)-(5|6) look more well-proportioned than ((1-2)|(3-4))-(5|6).
