6月12日・June 12th: 漢字の入力・Han ideograph input

Han ideograph (kanji) input on computers is now considered as rather easy. However, this wasn't always so. We will examine the development of the mainstream Han ideographic input methods, as well as some more exotic methods such as SKK and T-code.

漢字のコンピュータへの入力は現在は割りと簡単と思われるが、昔ではそうではなかった。 現在の主流の入力方法とSKKやT-codeみたいな特殊な方法を勉強します。
