Unique Part Order

There are some characters that do not follow the Standard Part Order and Intersecting Part Order, they are considered to be unique. These unique characters have to be learnt separately. The good news is that they can also be decoded into qTRAILS Alphabets and/or strokes. These characters are unique structurally but they still share the same components as other characters. Here are some examples of characters with Unique Part Order

Click on each character to watch how the parts break down into alphabets and/or strokes in these animated clips. Observe the different components that make up each character.
