For a detailed explanation, you should refer to the big book. But actually the rules are not all that difficult--probably a good deal simpler than European languages, I'd say. The most important thing to know is that there is a certain set of characters that may not occur at the end of a line, and another set that may not occur at the beginning, and I believe (it's been a while since I seriously looked at any of this) that there are certain unbreakable pairs, but not a huge number of them.
ok, so that's like chinese;
now, how about numbering [chinese have multiple systems] and labels [chinese has pre/post labels]?
> - how many glyphs are there (well, i could look it up in the big cjk book)
nice explanation, i think you all should team up in making a nice manual about this!
