Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8501475A1] A method of specifying characters of languages such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean which uses not more than four keys on a keyboard, each of which represents an element, each element representing at least one component of a character and, in combination, being capable of representing the whole of any character of the character set, when entered in the order in which the components of the character would conventionally be written. The method also provides means of identifying and minimising disruption to entry caused by sets of characters which are ambiguous when entered in the manner set out hereabove.
