Chinese Keyboard Plugin 3.3.1

Chinese Plugin for Honso Keyboards is a useful tool for users who want to enhance their typing experience by enabling Chinese hanzi, Japanese kanji hiragana katakana, Korean hangul hanja, and English characters. This plugin also supports 拼音 pinyin, 注音 zhuyin, and 粵拼 Jyutping input methods.

To fully utilize this plugin, it is recommended to also install O Keyboard or Multiling Keyboard. For bug reports, users can email the developers or join the Google group dedicated to Multiling Keyboard.

The plugin offers several features to aid in writing Chinese characters. The "偏旁找字" feature allows users to input only a specific radical or component of a character and quickly find the desired character. This feature is helpful for users who may forget how to write certain characters or prefer a faster input method.

For example:

• 苟→敬→驚,璥,檠,警
• 臣→臧→藏
• 地→哋,逇
• 既→嘅,慨,概,鱀
• 予→野→墅,嘢
• 川→訓→瞓
• 可→哥→歌,戨,鎶,謌,彁
• 龙→龍→龖,龘
• 壴→喜,囍
• 宑→塞,賽
• 爻→學,斅
• 角→觸,嘴

The plugin also supports the input of rare or uncommon Chinese characters. While the default Android system may not include those characters, MultiLing Keyboards allows users to freely input Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters, as well as uncommon names or internet slang.

For example:

• 嘏肜矍傕諶粲悌昶毗荀顗嶷邕琰羕彧嵇毌胄巽伷

In addition, the plugin offers a feature called "同音轉換" which allows users to input characters that have the same pronunciation. This feature supports both Mandarin and Cantonese pronunciation.

For example:

• 介決→解決
• 堆措→對錯
• 皮視→鄙視

While MultiLing Keyboards does not support cursive handwriting input, it does provide a stroke-based input method that allows users to quickly write characters by inputting their strokes. The developers have provided a reference image for this feature (http://goomoji.appspot.com/market/stroke.png).

Overall, the Chinese Plugin for Honso Keyboards is a valuable addition to Honso keyboards, offering various features to enhance Chinese character input.
