Abstract
Handwritten character identification employs two constraining dots and radius vectors extending out from each of these dots in a manner to identify large quantities of numeral characters by determining which of these radius vectors are crossed, whereby these crossings sample a predetermined segmented character font pattern to designate the presence and absence of the respective segments. In particular, the number of the radius vectors concerning the horizontally-oriented segments is increased to minimize a possibility of error while leaving the two constraining dots to keep mild restrictions on the size and form of the characters to be handwritten and identified.
