ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for encoding and decoding Chinese characters comprises converting the strokes of a Chinese character in a sequence conforming at least initially with the Chinese handwriting rules to a sequence of predefined basic stroke elements of three types and determining the initial order of occurrence and the total number of occurrence of each type of basic stroke element in the character. A multiple element character stroke code indicative of the initial order of occurrence and the total number of occurrence of each of the basic stroke element types in the character is then derived, and each character of a stored character set which corresponds to the character stroke code is displayed, along with a respective additional code element associated with each character being displayed if the character stroke code corresponds to more than one character in the character set. In the event that more than one character corresponding to the character stroke code are being displayed, the additional code element associated with the displayed character that is the same as the character being entered is appended to the character stroke code to obtain an extended character code which uniquely corresponds to the character being entered. The method and apparatus of this invention advantageously allow the user to encode and decode Chinese characters efficiently and rapidly without having to rigorously follow the Chinese handwriting rules to completion.
