[edit] Summary

This vector image was created with Inkscape.

Biáng in a songti font

The 57-stroke character biáng (see Biang biang noodles) in regular script, suitable for brush calligraphy.

Here is how this was created:

Opened a new photoshop project.
On separate text layers, typed in the elements: "宀八言ㄠㄠ長長馬心月刂辶".
Using Image:Biáng.svg (which is in a Songti font) as a guide, arranged the elements in the correct places, and manipulated them to fit into their spaces correctly.
Exported the image as a very large, detailed bitmap (.png).
Opened the bitmap in Inkscape.
Used Inkscape's "trace bitmap" tool to create a vector image.
Manually removed unnecessary nodes, thus reducing file size dramatically.
Manipulated the nodes to make stroke thickness more uniform (it had been distorted by the manipulation in Photoshop)
Saved as a vector image (.svg) and uploaded to Commons.

Then, User:Yug made a correction.

Then, User:Wikic showed me his http://peng02.free.fr/biang2.png. I vectorised it and uploaded it. It has some advantages.

Then User:Yug improve the last 辶 to show 4 clear strokes as the traditionnal way need. The 心 is a little bigger.

The challenge now is to indicate the correct stroke order:
