Inserting Chinese characters
Chinese writing does not consist of letters, but of ideograms, which
represent an idea or a concept. A word would consist of one or more of
these ideograms and a sentence would consist of one or more of these
words.
A special program, called IME (Input Method Editor), is required, which
can be used to simulate a keyboard using the simplified Chinese
alphabet, which consists of approximately 7000 ideograms.
To enter a word, the designer types it phonetically on the keyboard, and
a data-processing system then finds the best ideogram for this word. If
the data-processing system cannot determine the right ideogram for this
word (for example in the case of homonyms), it suggests all the words,
which might correspond to this pronunciation, and the designer can then
select the most suitable ideogram from the list of suggestions.
