CHINWD - Chinese Wordprocessing

The Cang Jie input method is a system by which Chinese characters may be entered into a computer by means of a standard keyboard. It is based on the graph logical aspect of the characters wherein each basic, graphical unit is represented by a basic character component, of which there are 24 in all, each mapped to a particular letter key on a standard QWERTY keyboard. Cangjie is one of the very few input methods that can be found on most modern personal computers without the user having to download or install any additional software. CangJie allows keying even if you do not know the pronunciation of characters. CangJie, therefore, helps students of Chinese to remember characters’ shapes and structure.
