At present, more than 90% of computer users and millions of workers in the country use five-stroke fonts. Like mushrooms after rain, there are "five strokes" training courses all over the country. Five-stroke font has become a necessary skill for the civilized employment of contemporary youth in China.
The input method of "Wu Bi font" is a coding method and its software, which can input Chinese characters into a computer in a word-compatible way completely according to the font of Chinese characters, regardless of pronunciation and without being restricted by dialects and regions. And all this is due to one person, that is, Professor Wang Yongmin, the inventor of Wu Bi font. "Wu Bi Font" is a pioneering technical scheme realized by Professor Wang Yongmin according to the three principles of shape and code design. The coding rules are simple and clear, and there are few duplicate codes. The 25 keys in zone 5 are arranged neatly, with strong regularity, consistent key load and finger function, word compatibility, simplicity and generality, and high efficiency. 1998 The input speed of Beijing Regional Competition is 293 Chinese characters per minute.
Wubi font is a method of inputting Chinese characters into a computer. Invented by China Wang Yongmin, also known as Wang Ma. 1983 has passed the national appraisal and has been released for four generations. This input method divides Chinese characters into five stroke types (horizontal, vertical, left-handed, left-handed and folded) and three font types (up and down, left and right, mixed). Starting with glyphs, you can input Chinese characters into the computer even if you can't pronounce them.
It includes two input modes:
① Simple five-stroke input method, also known as five-stroke five-key input method, is a popular font coding input method, which is suitable for non-professionals.
② Efficient spelling input method, also known as radical input method, is suitable for professional operators.
Two input methods correspond to two input keyboards. Wubi input method uses 1 ~ 9 * * * 9 numbers on the right keypad of the keyboard to input Chinese characters; Pinyin input method is to input Chinese characters with 25 English letter keys A ~ Y * * * in the middle of standard typewriter keyboard. According to the characteristics that Chinese characters are composed of roots and roots are composed of strokes, it follows the writing order that people are used to, and codes and spells Chinese characters with roots as the basic unit. It selects 130 radicals from more than 200 radicals commonly used in Chinese characters as basic radicals. On the input keyboard, it is divided into five areas according to its initial strokes, and each area has five keys and ***25 keys. The code of each key can be represented by numbers or corresponding English letters. Each key is marked with a common root as the key name (located in the upper left corner of the key and shown in bold). In addition to the key name, each key is marked with several other radicals with different numbers. All the capitals are marked on the keyboard to form the general diagram of the five-stroke input keyboard. Some roots are just a Chinese character, that is, the root of a word. Because the radicals are clearly written around the key names, the input process is intuitive and convenient.
In order to improve the input efficiency, there are both single-word input method and word input method. Its characteristic is that word input and single word input are unified, and there is no need to shift gears. Words and codes can be contained in * * *, without affecting each other. Lexical codes and word codes can be mixed. If you remember them, you can type them quickly, but if you can't remember them clearly, you can still type them accurately. This design brings great convenience to operators in practical application. The operator can input Chinese characters smoothly by memorizing keyboard diagram, radical list, operation sequence and related formulas. After a certain fingering training, you can generally enter 120 ~ 160 Chinese characters per minute, and the skilled can enter nearly 200 words.
This technology has been patented by the United States, Britain and China, and has been widely used in United Nations organizations and Southeast Asia, and IBM of the United States has purchased the patent.
