You mean like this:
(That is from a tech report I was writing 20 years ago and never finished.) I changed my views a bit since then. For one thing, now I believe that ideally h is a single stroke too, and the ligature is not a separate stroke. Thus ch and ih are two strokes, not three, and should replace the last column of that table.
All the best, --stolfi
I agree that ch and ih must be two pen strokes but the gallows characters, to me, seem less clear. It's certainly natural and on close inspection of the text seems clear that they're probably written in one (the bench less gallows that is). Although, they maybe came from a tradition of single stroke elements that, in practice, became one.
It's definitely interesting to consider the possible meaning of pen stroke elements rather than full characters.
