tcode information

[Last Update 23:43:15 04/24/21]

What is tcode ?

(direct two stroke points one kanji code)

t-code is one of the two bytes character input method invented by professor Yamada . Instead of using kana(phonetic) code of phrases into Kanji conversion, two stroke of the keyboard designates solid one particular Kanji charactor. say, if you type 'LHIH' (of qwerty stuff), it shows '藤原' in that mode. Or you may click any keyboard found here to get any 1351 Kanji Chars ( Thanks Ntakahashi San ).

(Available drivers)

Table by OS -> osen.html
Macintosh driver, Elisp for Mule and for Windows 3.1 version (Not for Windows 95 nor NT) Kanchoku Win are available. If you are using Windows 95, you may have chance to use Mule for Windows ( BOOK or Intro by Hara Takeyori ) and run Elisp code on it.

(Info in Japanese)

The information in Japanese is available here -> tcode (two stroke direct Kanji Input Method) in the page of Taro Kawahara.
