I went to Japan and the keyboards look the same as ours do, except with alternate Hiragana characters beneath the English letters. There's a program that lets you type in Hiragana, then you use capslock to change it to Katakana. The system automatically searches for Kanji based on the Hiragana and you can pick it out of the list.
I can't say for sure, but I would guess the Chinese would work similarly; a program allows you to specify specific characters.
