Using the Traditional Chinese Input Method 31
Because the Cangjie input mode requires only one or two keys to specify some characters,
you may use the same keys when using Jianyi. Following are some examples of the keys you
would type in Cangjie and Jianyi for several characters.
Entering Chinese Characters Using the Dayi Input Mode
The Dayi input mode uses 40 radicals that it defines and the 214 Kangxi character radicals
used in Traditional Chinese. To use the Dayi input mode, you need to know how to write
Chinese characters using these radicals and the rules defined by the input mode for
composing Chinese characters.
To enter a character, you type up to four radicals. The order in which you type the radicals to
enter a character is determined by the way in which the character is written and the
components that make up a character. Follow these rules:

Important
This manual explains how to use Dayi with the Chinese Language Kit, but does
not explain how to use the Dayi radicals. Several books are available in Chinese that describe
how to use Dayi.
