The Japanese language contains a myriad of different characters. To talk to a resident of this country without any problems, it is enough to know about two thousand. But if you skillfully operate with three thousand, no one will be against. A natural question arises about how a Japanese computer keyboard looks with such a large number of characters.
Instructions
Step 1
The Japanese use three alphabets - hiragana, katakana and kanji. With the help of hiragana, Japanese words are recorded, and katakana is needed in order to write down words borrowed from other languages. Each of these alphabets contains 47 characters, as well as 73 derivatives. The third alphabet - kanji, or hieroglyphs, contains the most complex characters, the use of which requires certain skills.
Step 2
One Japanese book can contain letters from all three alphabets. However, do not worry about the Japanese keyboard, it does not have all these symbols, hieroglyphs and letters from the alphabet available in the language. The modern Japanese keyboard, in fact, does not differ from the European or Russian. On a Japanese keyboard, text is typed in Latin and then automatically converted to Japanese. For each word, you can call up a context menu containing various possible variants of writing a given word using hieroglyphs.
Step 3
By the way, the Japanese operating system Windows differs from the Russian one only in that all the inscriptions are translated into Japanese. The Japanese keyboard acts as a converter of Latin words to Japanese characters. The most common keyboard is easy to convert to Japanese, all you need to do is change the language.
Step 4
The Chinese keyboard is of greater interest, since this language is characterized by the presence of nine groups of dialects. In addition, all keyboards in a given country are classified as right-handed, left-handed, vertical, and horizontal. Typically, the Chinese keyboard is divided into five zones, since the Chinese characters have five similar parts in their writing.
Step 5
The Chinese letter symbol can be compared to a puzzle, assembled from certain sticks and dashes. The average Chinese blogger makes about five hundred clicks per minute, while recording about 160 characters.
