Input Techniques
is chapter is intended to describe CJKV input in a platform- and soware-independent
way. What you learn here can then be applied to a wider variety of CJKV input programs,
possibly even ones that have yet to be developed.
Unlike English and other Latin-based languages, to include Vietnamese, along with typi-
cal Korean text, which permits direct keyboard entry for the majority of its characters,
there are two ways to input CJKV characters, as follows:
