Cangjie 倉頡輸入法

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 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 are also available from Hai Feng Wubi Chinese input freeware. However Cangjie-5 does not allow inputting CJK extension C character glyphs [U+2A700 through U+2BA7F].
