The phonetic input method for entering Chinese characters into computers is based on what is called Pinyin, the romanization system for standard Mandarin. Pinyin was approved in 1958 by the government of the People's Republic of China and officially adopted by it in 1979. Since then, the International Organization for Standardization adopted Pinyin as the romanization system for standard Mandarin.
The pronunciation of Chinese characters is also marked with Pinyin.

        p - 撇 pie  (left falling)
        n - 捺 na   (right falling)   d - 点 dian (dot)
        z - 折 zhe  (hook)            乙 looks like z
