  • Game for encoding of ideographic characters simulating english alphabetic letters
    Patent number: 5257938
    Abstract: A game is disclosed for teaching the players the new multilingual alphabet of Tienstrokes on paper, video or computer screen, or any other information or communication device, as the Global Education Alphabet, composed of only ten English letters, simulating ten fundamental Chinese ideographic strokes. This translingual graphic alphabet represents ten basic hand motions as embodied in the Tienstrokes Indicators.

The Tienstrokes Similacode is then looked up in the dictionary to ascertain the corresponding words spelled in English, Japanese, Chinese or any other phonetic script.
