The CKC Chinese input method is based on the character structure. It is invented by Chow Chung Kai 周忠繼, the Honorary Chairman of the Kiangsu-Chekiang Residents (H.K.) Association. It only uses a maximum of 4 digits ("0" - "9") to represent a Chinese character. It is applicable to a variety of operating systems such as MS Windows, PalmOne cellular phone, Pocket PC, Palm PDA (OS4 and above).
