Random, i know, but ive always wondered...?

Question

do people who use other alphabets than we do (russians, chinese, japanese, etc.) have keyboards with those symbols on them? cuz i know that the chinese alphabet is like huge and idk if it their entire alphabet could fit on a keyboard...i really have no clue though....

Answer 1

The short answer is Yes, they do.  As you impled, the Chinese writing system contains a HUGE amount of characters.  But there is a 'simplified' Chinese that is used on the internet and e-mail.  

Answer 2

Russians do, yes. They also install a program that converts the keyboard into the Cyrillic alphabet.

In Japan has 3 writing system: Kanji (words, concepts, etc.), Hiragana (phonetics, suffixes, affixes, etc.) and Katakana (to the phonetic description of foreign words). On a keyboard Hiragana and Katakana are useful, these select it on his basis suitable Kanji.

Sorry, my English is terrible, but I hope I was able to help it.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Well my cousin got a laptop from some other country, and it had the English alphabet on it but had the alphabet from that country also printed on the corresponding keys...and if you pressed the function or shift button or something, the foreign letters came up. I doubt the whole Chinese alphabet would fit on a laptop, so I'm not sure how that works!
