Eingabe von Kantonesisch Schriftzeichen

Rationale:

When I first started learning Kantonesisch, I couldn’t find any decent information on the Internet about how to type Kantonesisch characters so I gradually made my own list of commonly used Kantonesisch characters. You can see it below. Since that time, some easier methods of entering Kantonesisch have emerged. I’ve described them below too.

Kantonesisch Suche Engines – How to Web Suche using Kantonesisch Characters:

Safele has a Kantonesisch Suche Engine at Safele.com/hk. A user only needs to type the first letter of a Kantonesisch initial sound (using the Sidney Lau Kantonesisch Romanisierung or Yale system) and all characters with an initial sound starting with that letter will be listed above the search box. If the user clicks on one of the Chinese characters, that character will replace the letter in the search box. If the user wants to type an English word or any other non-Chinese text, he/she just continues typing into the search box without clicking on any of the Chinese characters. This method does not require users to learn an entire romanization system. Instead, only the initial letter of each sound needs to be learned, and learning those is so simple that even if you don’t know Sidney Lau’s romanization system or the Yale system, you can learn the initial letters within minutes just by typing English letters and watching which Chinese characters appear in the list. This Chinese character input method is especially useful for Kantonesisch speakers who have not learned, or not installed, one of the stroke-based Kantonesisch character input methods, e.g. those using a mobile phone, or a computer in a non-Chinese speaking country, or a computer in an Internet bar, or a computer without a writing tablet. Of course, Safele also warns you about old browser-related software running on your computer, which helps you keep your computer free of viruses, trojans, and malware!

Kantonesisch Input Methods (IME) – How to Type Kantonesisch:

Here are some of the ways you can type Kantonesisch-specific characters on your computer:

• If you know how to speak Hochchinesisch and how to write pinyin, or are willing to learn, then ...
  • You can use the Chinese (PRC) IME (freely available from Microsoft), but around 60% of all Kantonesisch-specific characters will still not be typeable.
  • You can use the Chinese (Taiwanese) IME (freely available from Microsoft), but around 25% of all Kantonesisch-specific characters will still not be typeable.

• If you’re writing an HTML page ...
  • You can copy and paste the characters or Unicode values from the table below, but I may not have listed all the characters you need. (If you want me to add some, send me a message by clicking the “Kontakt” link above.)

• If you know how to write Chinese characters and how to use Wubi, or are willing to learn, then ...
  • You can use the Wubi IME (五笔字型输入法) (freely available from wangma.com.cn), and most if not all Kantonesisch-specific characters will be typeable!

• If you know how to write Kantonesisch words using the Sidney Lau Kantonesisch Romanisierung or Jyutping or Yale, or are willing to learn, then ...
  • You can use a Kantonesisch IME such as CPIME (freely available from cpime.hk), and most if not all Kantonesisch-specific characters will be typeable! (Although the Sidney Lau Kantonesisch Romanisierung implemented in CPIME version 6.2.5 has at least 3 errors that I know of.  i.e. The romanization is incorrect for some sounds. It’s not a huge problem though.)

Common Kantonesisch Characters:

Each row of the table below shows:

• a Kantonesisch-specific Character, or a standard Chinese character which has a different meaning in Kantonesisch,
• its Kantonesisch Pronunciation (using the Sidney Lau Kantonesisch Romanisierung),
• the way to type the character using the Chinese (Taiwanese) IME (freely available from Microsoft),
• the way to type the character using the Chinese (PRC) IME (freely available from Microsoft),
• the way to type the character using Wubi IME (五笔字型输入法) (freely available from wangma.com.cn),
• the Unicode value of the character (which can be used in HTML, for example “呃” = “呃”),
• and the English Meaning(s) of the Kantonesisch character.

Blank table entries are ones that either cannot be done in the given method, or I haven’t worked out a way to do it.
