Abstract
A computer is used to generate ideograms such as Chinese characters from an input of coded signals. The input device may be a standard ASCII keyboard having forty-four (44) keys with a shift key giving an eighty-eight (88) character input set. Combinations of two key strokes result in the ideogram being made ready for output, while certain other key strokes serve to combine one or more ideograms to generate more complex characters. The system will produce in excess of fifty thousand (50,000) characters with an average of less than four key strokes per character.
