The Ziranma (simplified Chinese: 自然码; traditional Chinese: 自然碼; pinyin: zì rán mǎ; lit. 'natural code' input method is a Chinese input method, originally designed by Zhou Zhinong (simplified Chinese: 周志农; traditional Chinese: 周志農; pinyin: zhōu zhì nóng) in the 1980s with continuous minor upgrades until 2009.
How it works[edit]
Ziranma makes use of both phonetic and shape information of Chinese characters. The phonetic part, Ziranma shuangpin (simplified Chinese: 自然码双拼; traditional Chinese: 自然碼雙拼; pinyin: zì rán mǎ shuāng pīn; lit. 'natural code double pinyin'), is a condensed form of toneless pronunciation of a character using only two latters. The shape part, Ziranma shape code (simplified Chinese: 自然码形码; traditional Chinese: 自然碼形碼; pinyin: zì rán mǎ xíng mǎ; lit. 'natural code shape code'), describes the shape of a character in also two letters. Each character is encoded as four letters in total.
