Re: Please explain

Watch someone inputting Chinese characters on a touch screen.

At the end of inputting a word, they have selected a complete character which may consist of 20 or so detailed strokes that would be a nightmare to draw completely, by just inputting maybe 5 strokes.

The reason print characters are so complex is because it has to make up for not having the stroke order information.
