Asian Keyboard

Answer 4

That's only for chinese. Koreans and Japanese have an alphabet.

I'm writing on a Korean and English keyboard right now. It's basically a QWERTY keyboard with Korean letters printed on each key next to the english letters. I just switch on the Korean fonts, and voila: 한글.

Answer 5

I am guessing that they have some sort of short hand that allows certain basic symbols to make the wordsymbol as a whole. To explain better say the word you want to type something like _o/\_ that means doggystyle =) you would have a key for each part making up the whole word as certain marks are used commonly (a key for o _ / you get the idea...). Of corse I could be wrong and they use giant 50,000 symbol keyboards :)

Answer 6

Koreans use a phonetic alphabet called "hangul" and can type with a keyboard that uses it. Microsoft has a program that can convert an English keyboard stroeks into hangul for Korean.

Answer 7

Just like US keyboard except the operating system piece them together to make it a complete character.

Answer 8
