 I've always wondered if the Chinese used standard 102 key keyboards since mandarin has so many more essential characters."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
 "A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury." -Alexander Fraser Tytler

 They used to use a much smaller keyboard, that used different lines to construct each character. Essentially, there was a different key for each stroke of the pen you would need to draw the character (it sounds more complicated than it is). Since the advent of pinyin, every generation including and after ours, uses a standard 102 key keyboard.Originally posted by CJ View PostI've always wondered if the Chinese used standard 102 key keyboards since mandarin has so many more essential characters.
