Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9820429A1] A method for specifically converting non-phonetic characters representing vocabulary in languages into surrogate words for inputting into a computer includes the steps of (a) alphabetizing a pictographic/ideographic radical of each character according to its pronunciation in a respective language, with the resulting spelling then being used as a prefix for a newly created surrogate word; (b) alphabetizing a phonetic radical according to its pronunciation in the respective language, with the resulting spelling then being used as a suffix for the newly created surrogate word; and (c) combining the prefix and suffix together and separate them with a separate mark such as a hyphen "-", thus creating the surrogate word for each specific "character" used in the written form of the respective language. Such newly created surrogate words are unique for and can precisely represent the non-phonetic characters used in the written oriental languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean language, and Indian language, thus facilitating the easy input of the information in these languages into a computer either manually or orally.
