Depending on the size of the character sets, more steps may be designated with the same letters-followed-by-digits pattern. With the encoding system, an ideographic based language can be transcribed, or ciphered, into an easy-to-read stream of phonetic symbols and a discourse in the language can be input with commonly used computer keyboards. Since the system of encoding employs variable code length, it can be applied to much larger character sets by using longer codes. It also can be applied to character sets with different characteristics by appropriate reordering of the steps. The letters-followed-by-digits coding pattern is used for each characteristic of the ideographic symbols, independent of the symbols' relative graphic image locations in font tables and the size of character set, so that different configurations of the encoding can be software compatible across many character sets and languages.
