There are 24 radicals but 26 keys; the 24 radicals (the '''basic shapes''' {{zhi\|t=基本字形}}) are associated with roughly 76 '''auxiliary shapes''' ({{zhi\|t=輔助字形}}), which in many cases are either rotated or transposed versions of components of the basic shapes. For instance, the letter A ({{zhi\|c={{linktext\|日}}}}) can represent either itself, the slightly wider {{zhi\|c=曰}}, or a 90° rotation of itself. (For a more complete account of the 76-odd transpositions and rotations than the ones listed below, see the [[b:zh:倉頡輸入法/輔助字形\|article on Cangjie entry in Chinese Wikibooks]].) The 24 keys are placed in four groups: * Philosophical Group —– corresponds to the letters 'A' to 'G' and represents the sun, the moon, and the [[Wuxing (Chinese philosophy)\|five elements]] * Strokes Group —– corresponds to the letters 'H' to 'N' and represents the brief and subtle strokes * Body-Related Group —– corresponds to the letters 'O' to 'R' and represents various parts of the human [[anatomy]] * Shapes Group —– corresponds to the letters 'S' to 'Y' and represents complex and enclosed character forms {\| class="wikitable" !Group!!Key!!Name~~!!Primary meaning~~ !'''Auxiliary

Instead, it was part of an integrated system consisting of the Cangjie input ''rules'' and a Cangjie ''controller board''. This controller board contains [[Chinese character generator\|character generator]] [[firmware]], which dynamically generates Chinese characters from Cangjie codes when characters are ''output'', using the hi-res graphics mode of the [[~~Apple II series\|~~Apple II]] ~~computer~~. In the preface of the [[#References\|Cangjie user's manual]], [[Chu Bong-Foo]] wrote in 1982: {{blockquote\|[in translation]<br>In terms of output: The output and input, in fact, [form] an integrated whole; there is no reason that [they should be] dogmatically separated into two different facilities.… This is in fact necessary.…}} Line 300 ⟶ 470: * One must also be familiar with the decomposition rules, lack of knowledge of which results in increased difficulty in typing the intended characters. * The user cannot type a character that they have forgotten how to write (a problem with all non-phonetic based input methods). With enough practice, users can overcome the above problems. Typical touch-typists can type Chinese at 25 characters per minute (cpm), or better, using Cangjie, despite having difficulty remembering the list of auxiliary shapes or the decomposition rules. Experienced Cangjie typists can reportedly attain a typing speed from 60 cpm to over 200 cpm.{{Citation needed\|date=October 2024}} According to Chen Minzheng, his teaching experience at Longtian Elementary School in Taitung in 1990, the average typing speed of children was 90 words per minute, and some children even reached more than 130 words per minute.<ref>https://www.chinesecj.com/forum/forum.php?mod=attachment&aid=MTIwNnw1MjMxNmQwMXwxNjg2OTYyNTE4fDB8MTUwMjQ%3D page 58</ref>{{Better source needed\|reason=Forum posts are not reliable sources ([[WP:NOTRS]]).\|date=October 2024}} === Limitations in implementation === Line 314 ⟶ 484: ==Versions== The Cangjie input method is commonly said to have gone through five generations (commonly referred to as "versions" in English), each of which is slightly incompatible with the others. Currently, version 3 ({{zhi\|c=第三代倉頡}}) is the most common and supported natively by [[Microsoft Windows]]. Version 5 ({{zhi\|c=第五代倉頡}}), supported by the Free Cangjie IME and previously the only Cangjie supported by [[Smart Common Input Method\|SCIM]], represents a significant minority method and is supported by [[iOS]], and supported by Microsoft Windows since [[Windows Vista]]. Before Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows needs to install [[HKSCS]] update to support Cangjie Version 5.<ref>{{Cite web \|title=FAQ: How to enable Cantonese characters and Unicode CKJ extensions in Windows :: Pinyin Joe \|url=https://www.pinyinjoe.com/faq/windows-cantonese-chinese-characters-cjk-extension.htm \|access-date=2025-04-26 \|website=www.pinyinjoe.com}}</ref> The early Cangjie system supported by the Zero One card on the Apple II was Version 2; Version 1 was never released.
