Chinese character frequency information


Chinese character frequency (simplified Chinese: 汉字字频; traditional Chinese: 漢字字頻; pinyin: hànzì zì pín) is the applicational frequency of characters in written Chinese. It is calculated on a corpus, i.e., a collection of texts representing one or more languages. The frequency of a character is the ratio of the number of its occurrences to the total number of characters in the corpus, with the formula of [1]

Fi = ni N  ×  100%,

where ni is the number of times a certain (ith) Chinese character appears in the corpus, and N is the total number of (occurrences of) characters in the corpus.

Chinese character frequency is fundamental to quantitative linguistics of Chinese, and is of referential value to Chinese language teaching and information processing. [2]
