The 208 parts behind HSK 1
Characters are not drawn, they are assembled. These are the pieces that actually turn up in the 300 characters of HSK 1, each with the keyword it plays in a scene, and the characters it appears in.
Sorted by how much work each one does. The first few earn their keep many times over, starting with 口 (mouth), which appears in 42 HSK 1 characters. This is the same argument as the actors: a fixed number of pieces, an unlimited number of characters built from them.
