The following general information was coded for all characters: (a) grade level: This was the numerical value indicating at which level a particular character appeared in the curriculum. Zero (0) was used for kindergarten, and numbers 1–5 were used to stand for grades 1–5. (b) Type of characters: There were two types of characters coded based on their structures: single-unit characters composed of one component were coded as 1, and compound characters that have more than 1 components were coded as 2. (c) Type of compound characters: Compound characters were coded as 1 for semantic-phonetic compounds, and 0 for nonsemantic-phonetic compounds, respectively. Semantic-phonetic compounds were scrutinized because, as discussed above, more than 80% of Chinese characters are of this type (Li & Kang, 1993; Zhou, 1978). Further coding of critical features of semantic-phonetic compounds is presented below.
