Oxis Chinese Character Finder
The Oxis Chinese Character Finder is an online tool (and method) for entering Chinese characters. A set of twenty-four abstract graphics is used to describe the printed form of Chinese characters. Each graphic is represented by a single ascii digit or letter, and the graphics themselves can be approximated with Chinese characters. The characters and their text equivalents are: 目1 日2 罒3 夕4 口5 乂6 牛7 十8 ノ9 八A 阝B 丶D 山E 一H 丨I 亅J 长K 乚L 弓S 厂T 冂U ㄥV 人Y フZ These are combined according to a small set of rules that can be used implicitly or shown explicitly.

Radical (Chinese Character)
A Chinese radical () or indexing component is a graphical component of a Chinese character under which the character is traditionally listed in a Chinese dictionary. This component is often a semantic indicator similar to a morpheme, though sometimes it may be a phonetic component or even an artificially extracted portion of the character. In some cases the original semantic or phonological connection has become obscure, owing to changes in character meaning or pronunciation over time. The English term "radical" is based on an analogy between the structure of characters and inflection of words in European languages. Radicals are also sometimes called "classifiers", but this name is more commonly applied to grammatical classifiers (measure words). History In the earliest Chinese dictionaries, such as the ''Erya'' (3rd century BC), characters were grouped together in broad semantic categories. Because the vast majority of characters are phono-semantic compounds (), combi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Simplified Chinese Characters
Simplified Chinese characters are one type of standard Chinese character sets. Along with traditional Chinese characters, they are one of the two standard character sets of the contemporary Chinese written language. The government of the People's Republic of China in mainland China has promoted them for use in printing since the 1950s and 1960s to encourage literacy. They are officially used in the People's Republic of China, Malaysia and Singapore, while traditional Chinese characters remain in common use in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Japan, as well as South Korea to a certain extent. Simplified Chinese characters may be referred to by their official name or colloquially .

Traditional Chinese Characters
Traditional Chinese characters are one set of standard Chinese characters used for written Chinese. Their modern shapes first appeared with the emergence of the clerical script during the Han dynasty beginning around 200 BC, and were standardized with the introduction of the regular script beginning in the 2nd century AD. They remained the standard form of printed Chinese characters or literary Chinese throughout the Sinosphere until the middle of the 20th century, when various countries that adopted Chinese characters as a writing system started to introduce their own simplified versions of Chinese scripts. Traditional Chinese characters remain in common use in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, as well as in most overseas Chinese communities outside Southeast Asia; in addition, Hanja in Korean language remains virtually identical to traditional characters, which is still used to a certain extent in South Korea, despite differing standards used among these countries over some ...

Chinese Input Methods For Computers
Chinese input methods are methods that allow a computer user to input Chinese characters. Most, if not all, Chinese input methods fall into one of two categories: phonetic readings or root shapes. Methods under the phonetic category usually are easier to learn but are less efficient, thus resulting in slower typing speeds because they typically require users to choose from a list of phonetically similar characters for input, whereas methods under the root shape category allow very precise and speedy input but have a steep learning curve because they often require a thorough understanding of a character's strokes and composition. Other methods allow users to write characters directly onto touchscreens, such as those found on mobile phones and tablet computers. History Chinese input methods predate the computer. One of the early attempts was an electro-mechanical Chinese typewriter Ming kwai () which was invented by Lin Yutang, a prominent Chinese writer, in the 1940s. It assigne ...
