contents HCMU surfaces are compact Riemann surfaces equipped with an extremal Kähler metric and a finite number of singularities. Research on these surfaces was initiated by E. Calabi and X.-X. Chen over thirty years ago. We provide a detailed description of the geometric structure of HCMU surfaces, building on the classical football decomposition introduced by Chen-Chen-Wu. From this perspective, most HCMU surfaces can be uniquely described by a set of data that includes both discrete topological information and continuous geometric parameters. This data representation is effective for studying the moduli space of HCMU surfaces with specified genus and conical angles, suggesting a topological approach to this topic. As a first application, we present a unified proof of the angle constraints on HCMU surfaces. Using the same approach, we establish an existence theorem for HCMU surfaces of any genus with a single conical point, which is also a saddle point. Finally, we determine the dimension of the moduli space, defined as the number of independent continuous parameters. This is achieved by examining several geometric deformations of HCMU surfaces and the various relationships between the quantities in the data set representation.
