It is the effort that is needed to recognize or decode a particular character. Visual complexity is however subjective, because people who are exposed to, or know different writing system, could calculate or view complexity differently. Therefore, it is at best to only quantify for the factors that contribute to the complexity of a character, visually. St*oke count is ideal and interesting in this regard. St*oke can be defined as the basic hand movements and the shapes that a character includes to create its primary shape. A st*oke can be primary or complex. Naturally, a complex st*oke will consist of a number of primary st*okes. For example, a primary st*oke in a language could simply be a straight line and a complex st*oke is the one that could be a series of lines in the form of an arch or cross over on a primary st*oke to make up a character. This way, we could conclusively quantify the complexity of a character in the form of a number. The present study is carried out in Tamil, the Asokan branch of Brahmi script. The first experiment aims to measure the reaction time of the participants to nonsense words, that are characterized as linear and non-linear based on the side the vowel diacritic markers take. For example, 2.      Left:                    கே 3.      Bottom:               கு The vowels (1) and (2) are non-linear, in the sense that, there is a mismatch in the articulation and the written form. In (3) and (4), the graphemes representing the segments are encountered in the same sequence in which they are articulated. While the results showed a highly significant value, supporting linearity as the norm, the study further wanted to see if the role of
