This table illustrates the degree of correlation between values for the conversion factor.
Although all characters are centered within the sane square block, the overall size of many characters is not well defined because pointed strokes radiate outward in all directions from the interior. The size is really well defined only for those characters which are enclosed in a square radical. Examples with square enclosures are illustrated in the following table.
