The generalized Hamming weight of linear codes is a natural generalization of the minimum Hamming distance. They convey the structural information of a linear code and determine its performance in various applications, and have become one of important research topics in coding theory. Recently, Li (IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 67(1): 124-129, 2021) and Li and Li (Discrete Math., 345: 112718, 2022) obtained the complete weight hierarchy of linear codes from a quadratic form over a finite field of odd characteristic by analysis of the solutions of the restricted quadratic equation in its subspace. In this paper, we further determine the complete weight hierarchy of linear codes from a quadratic form over a finite field of even characteristic by carefully studying the behavior of the quadratic form on the subspaces of this field and its dual space, and complement the results of Li and Li.
