Simplified Cangjie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Simplified Cangjie (簡易 or 速成) is an input method in which the user enters only the first and last keystrokes used in the Cangjie system, and then chooses the desired character from a list of candidate Chinese characters that pops up. This method is popular in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Simplified Cangjie is one of the very few input methods which has an IME pre-installed on Chinese-capable personal computers.

Ordinary computer users tend to learn simplified Cangjie instead of the full Cangjie method because they think that simplified Cangjie is simpler; this is especially true in Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong, since users are normally not able to use the zhuyin method due to either a lack of knowledge of Mandarin pronunciations or a lack of knowledge of the zhuyin fuhao. In practice, whether simplified Cangjie is really easier to learn is debatable, since users lack the knowledge of the Cangjie decomposition rules and therefore do not understand how to arrive at the simplified Cangjie codes of many characters.
