fourCornerCode :: Char -> [Text]

The four-corner code(s) for the character

The four-corner system assigns each character a four-digit code from 0 through 9. The digit is derived from the “shape” of the four corners of the character (upper-left, upper-right, lower-left, lower-right). An optional fifth digit can be used to further distinguish characters; the fifth digit is derived from the shape in the character’s center or region immediately to the left of the fourth corner.

The four-corner system is now used only rarely. Full descriptions are available online, e.g., at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_corner_input.
