1983 In August, Wang Yongmin invented a Chinese character input method called Wu Bi font input method. Because the inventor's surname is Wang, it is also called "Wang code five strokes" Wu Bi font codes Chinese characters completely according to the characteristics of strokes and glyphs, which is a typical shape code input method.
Wu Bi is one of the most commonly used Chinese character input methods in China and some Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and Malaysia in the late 20th century. Compared with the pinyin input method, Wu Bi has the characteristics of low duplication rate, and can quickly input Chinese characters after proficiency. Since the birth of 1983, Wu Bi font has been published in three versions: 86 Wu Bi, 98 Wu Bi and New Century Wu Bi.
Extended data:
The advantages of Wu Bi input method are as follows:
1. Typing is the same as writing. It's easy to keep change.
The process of typing a word is very similar to handwriting, and the speed of typing a word can reach 60 ~ 120 words (far simpler and faster than handwriting). And there is basically no need to choose words, so you can concentrate on the content of the article to be written.
2, Chinese characters spell building blocks, and the language is step by step.
The five-stroke input method is not only beneficial to the brain, but also of great significance to the teaching of Chinese characters. For example, "beauty" means "beauty+king+greatness", not "beauty+four horizontal+people" written by some students. The semi-enclosed part of "Qi" is "Qi", not "Nine".
3. Wide application range.
Wu Bi has a wider range of applications, and voice input will inevitably be influenced by occasions, time, dialects and polyphonic words, so it is not suitable for crowded or noisy places, such as classrooms. Voice input may interfere with each other or disturb others' rest or work.
You can read and even print the text.
Words typed with five strokes can be directly read, edited or printed, and even read aloud by computer. Record 10 hour, then listen to 10 hour. It takes at least a little more time to express it in words than 10 hour.
