A part of living things,
Process of a life,
Kinds of living things,
Fundamental C-cs
work like extended bases as each simplified picture or abstract symbol
by its total shape;
and are used for creating more C-cs relating to them.
Here are some examples of fundamental C-cs and their application C-cs.
A part of living things
Fundamental parts and organs of human, animal or plant bodies
are often shown as picture-like characters, and used for many applications.
Many of these characters, which human has, were simplified from human
part shapes. But they
can be used widely as the characteristics for other animals too. Also
relating to their functions, concepts of tools, actions and conditions can
be expressed with another character. Some organ has plural functions. A C-c
concept is set by which basis/another f-c-c is compounded on top of the
fundamental C-c.
* For application characters, you can express the elements separately
connecting with hyphen
.
