The invention relates to a phonological, calligraphic and tone
hybrid coding method for inputting
Chinese characters to a computer. By the aid of the method, Chinese character input speed can be greatly increased, average key
stroke frequency is low, coincident
code rate is low, input rules are simple, special learning is omitted, the method more effectively conforms to writing habits of people, the
Chinese characters which cannot be read or written by people can be smoothly inputted, codes basically have uniqueness, Chinese
character coding coverage is wide and includes
hybrid coding with
pinyin, writing strokes and tones of
Chinese characters. The method is characterized in that character pronunciation codes only include first letters (respectively indicated by twenty-three letters) of the
pinyin, five tone codes (respectively indicated by five numeric keys) and
stroke codes (respectively indicated by five numeric keys and at most including front six strokes). The codes are sequenced according to the use frequency of commonly used Chinese characters, the speed of inputting the commonly used Chinese characters is quite high, the codes are unique, Chinese character input efficiency is substantially improved, and popularization of computer application is substantially facilitated.
