Question for CangJie (倉頡輸入法) users: how do I know if a character gets a 3- or 4-letter code? For example 忽 is PHP but I thought it was PHHP because there are two falling leftwards strokes 丿丿

CangJie is so difficult cuz you should know how to write the characters correctly. Sorry I only use Pinyin and Zhuyin.

I asked one of my friends who used CangJie, and he said that some rules are unreasonable(most of them are systematic), you just keep using them and you can remember it. And he told me CangJie is easy. Lol

@An_toine I don't think CangJie is particularly hard, but it requires some practice. In this case, I found the answer: since it is a 2-unit character the first block gets allocated 2 letters only (first and last, PH in this case). Then you get a P for the second block, PHP all in all.
