Home and Applets > FAQ > About Chinese > About Cangjie

The Cangjie input method is a system by which Chinese characters are entered into a computer via a keyboard. It was invented by CHU Bong-Foo 朱邦復 in 1976.

Cangjie-5 (version 2008) can be used for both traditional and simplified Chinese characters, including Hong Kong supplementary character set. The corresponding input method editor for Windows XP system, available from chinesecj.com in Malaysia, supports 70000 Chinese characters. To this end, character glyphs (unified CJK ideographs + extension A + extension B + extension C) in UniFonts5.3 (25 Mb) must be installed. These character glyphs (UniFonts5.4) are also available from Hai Feng Wubi Chinese input freeware. Windows Vista system already supports these character glyphs. However Cangjie-5 does not allow inputting CJK extension C character glyphs [U+2A700 through U+2BA7F] and extension B character glyphs are visible only in MS Word file.

Extension C character glyphs are visible from Unihan database and 国学字箪 > 汉字编码表 both using FireFox3 browser only.

Acrobat Reader will not display Chinese properly if you do not have the proper Chinese fonts from Adobe installed on your system.
