Zhengma method

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Zhengma Input Method (Simplied Chinese: , Traditional

Chinese: ) (also referred to as Zheng code method) is a Chinese
language input method. The primary goal of Zhengma design is compatibility
with dierent types of characters (ability to input both simplied Chinese and
traditional Chinese), scalability (it works well with extremely large sets of
ideographs) and ease of use, especially for people who are experienced with
how ideographs are formed. For these reasons this input method is used more
by scholars of the Chinese language or people who need to use both traditional
and simplied Chinese. This input method is one of two stroke-based input
method that are included with Microsoft Windows. (The other stroke-based
method is Cangjie which can also generate both simplied and traditional
characters and which is extensively taught and used in Taiwan and Hong Kong.)

Zhengma is similar to the Wubi method, but has dierent stroke coding.[1]

Under Linux, this input method is supported by the following IME packages:

fcitx (https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx)
ibus (https://github.com/ibus/ibus)
