Features: Chinese input has long been one of the major obstacles to computer adoption. Although Pinyin input method does not require learning and can be used immediately, it is helpless for those who cannot pronounce characters. Moreover, its high frequency of duplicate codes not only prevents blind typing but also significantly reduces typing speed. The Wubi Word Shaping Input Method, invented by Mr. Wang Yongmin, is a shape-based code. Each Chinese character can be input by pressing a maximum of 4 keys (common characters generally require only 1-3 keys). Due to its low frequency of duplicate codes, users can type without knowing the characters, and it also supports phrase input, enabling blind typing. With learning and practice, typing speed can reach over 100 characters per minute. Therefore, the Wubi Word Shaping Input Method has become one of the most influential and widely adopted professional typing input methods today.
Readers can use this dictionary in the same way they would use the Xinhua Dictionary: by using either stroke order or Pinyin to look up the Wubi Word Shaping input method's radical decomposition and code for Chinese characters. This dictionary also marks the simplified codes, recognition codes, and duplicate codes of Chinese characters in Wubi Word Shaping, as well as the Wubi Word Shaping codes for phrases. This dictionary is not only a helpful tool for beginners learning and practicing Wubi Word Shaping but also a handy reference for all Wubi Word Shaping users.
