You don\u2019t even have to know the order of the strokes in a character, because this input method only recognizes the whole character after you complete writing it.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two main drawbacks of this method, however, often mean that not many people choose it. Firstly, it is the slowest, as you have to write each character one by one. Also, if your writing is not easy to recognize, you have to choose again from the results the machine suggests based on what you\u2019re writing.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second drawback is that you probably need a touchscreen to write.

You will need to use punctuation. There is no spacing in Chinese writing, but punctuation is necessary. Some Chinese punctuation rules work the same as in English.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a list of common punctuation rules in Chinese and a brief introduction to their function.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full stop \u3002<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The full stop marks the end of a sentence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comma \uff0c\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The comma marks a pause in a sentence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exclamation mark !<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exclamation mark marks the end of an exclamation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quotation mark \u201c\u201d<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Quotation marks in Chinese are used to directly quote other people\u2019s words.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Question mark ?<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Question marks are used at the end of questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colon :<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A colon usually precedes a list, an explanation or a quotation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Semicolon ;<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The semicolon is something in between a full stop and a comma.

It was actually the only keyboard layout available for Chinese people before the smartphone era, simply because all phones only had 9 keys for inputting back at that time!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_and_How_to_Get_9_Key\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why and How to Get 9 Key<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As people gradually move to smartphones that can fit a 26-key keyboard on the screen, 9 key is now less commonly used, however it still remains the preferred choice for many people because it is easier to type with only <\/span><b>one hand.<\/b> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8335\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.lingodeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/image7.png?resize=563%2C574&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"typing in chinese: 9-key layout\" width=\"563\" height=\"574\" \/> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a typical 9 key layout on the phone. Key \u201c1\u201d represents the syllable dividing mark, while key \u201c2\u201d ~ \u201c9\u201d each represents 3 or 4 letters.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before starting using 9 Key, you need to get it on your device first. The good news is that you don\u2019t have to install any extra app for this. Most of the Chinese input apps allow you to change between 26 key full keyboard or 9 key within it.\u00a0<\/span> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8338\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.lingodeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/image11.png?resize=368%2C472&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"typing in chinese: how to get 9-key layout\" width=\"368\" height=\"472\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h3><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6238\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.lingodeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/%E7%9C%BC%E9%95%9C.png?resize=69%2C33&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"69\" height=\"33\" \/><\/h3>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Typing_Chinese_Characters_Words_and_Phrases_with_9_Key\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typing Chinese Characters, Words and Phrases with 9 Key<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you might be wondering how to use this keyboard layout with clusters of letters. The answer is don&#8217;t panic and just remember to use it according to Pinyin input rules. Instead of pressing the button representing each letter directly, you press the button containing the letter you want.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if I want to type \u4f60(n\u01d0), I need \u201cn\u201d and \u201ci\u201d. So I press \u201c6\u201d and \u201c4\u201d that contain these two letters.<\/span> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8336\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.lingodeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/image9.png?resize=600%2C528&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"typing in chinese: typing \u4f60 on 9 key\" width=\"600\" height=\"528\" \/> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the sequence of \u201c6\u201d + \u201c4\u201d can only make syllables \u201cni\u201d or \u201cmi\u201d. The app will automatically provide you with the results of both syllables. Because \u4f60 is a very common character, it ranks the first here, so I press it to type it into my text.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your wanted character is less common and thus not listed in the first few recommendations, there are two things you can do.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you can select the specific syllable you want on the left side of the keyboard. By doing this, the app will only give you character results of the specified syllables, so you can pick out your character faster.\u00a0<\/span> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8343\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.lingodeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/image16-300x281.jpg?resize=599%2C561&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"typing in chinese: specify the syllable on 9 key\" width=\"599\" height=\"561\" \/> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other thing you can do is to extend the result list by pressing the \u201c&gt;\u201d button in the upper right corner.\u00a0<\/span> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8342\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.lingodeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/image15-300x281.jpg?resize=591%2C553&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"typing in chinese: expand the list on 9 key\" width=\"591\" height=\"553\" \/> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then you&#8217;ll see an expanded result list and you can pick your desired character from there.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To type multi-syllable Chinese words or phrases, in the same manner, you press the buttons that contain the letters you need.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if I want to type the four-character idiom \u4eba\u5c71\u4eba\u6d77, I need the letters \u201crenshanrenhai\u201d. So I press the buttons \u201c7367426736421\u201d.\u00a0<\/span> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8348\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.lingodeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/image21-300x280.jpg?resize=600%2C560&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"typing in chinese: type \u4eba\u5c71\u4eba\u6d77 with 9 key\" width=\"600\" height=\"560\" \/> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since this is a commonly used idiom, the app intelligently gives it to me.
