It is really impressive. I had some fun with Chu's original DOS implementation [1]; for example, what does happen if you repeat a same letter up to five times?

It is really impressive. I had some fun with Chu's original DOS implementation [1]; for example, what does happen if you repeat a same letter up to five times? Even you don't know Chinese characters, you can easily see that some subcomponents are specialized while others remain fully general [2]. For example 骨 (BBB) is made of three 月s (B), but it gets reused in BBBBB (presumably ⿰骨骨). Careful decomposition and specialization made Cangjie extremely concise and still usable.
