Cangjie

Cangjie is an input method for typing Chinese characters using a standard keyboard. Developed in the 1970s, it relies on a system of radicals, which are the building blocks of Chinese characters. Users break down each character into its components and enter them based on their shapes. This method allows for efficient typing without needing specialized equipment. Named after a legendary figure credited with creating Chinese writing, Cangjie is widely used in various computing environments, enabling easier access to the vast array of symbols in the Chinese language.
