Details

A standard QWERTY keyboard has a few dozen keys. How can Chinese—a language with tens of thousands of characters and no alphabet—be input on such a device?

To discuss the history of the Chinese keyboard, from the typewriter to the smartphone, we're pleased to welcome Thomas S. Mullaney, professor of history at Stanford University.
