The '''Cangjie input method''' ('''Tsang-chieh input method''', sometimes called '''Changjie''', '''Cang Jie''', '''Changjei'''<ref>A spelling used as filename on [[ETen Chinese System]].</ref> or '''Chongkit''') is a system for entering [[Chinese characters]] into a [[computer]] using a standard [[computer keyboard]]. In [[filename]]s and elsewhere, the name Cangjie is sometimes abbreviated as cj.
 
The input method was invented in 1976 by [[Chu Bong-Foo]], and named after [[Cangjie]] (Tsang-chieh), the [[mythological]] inventor of the Chinese writing system, at the suggestion of [[Chiang Wei-kuo]], the former Defense Minister of [[Taiwan]]. Chu Bong-Foo released the patent for Cangjie in 1982, as he thought that the method should belong to [[Chinese culture|Chinese cultural heritage]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://epaper.naer.edu.tw/edm.php?grp_no=2&edm_no=33&content_no=875|title=教育科技的專利與普及|website=National Academy for Educational Research e-Newsletter|date=1 February 2012|access-date=14 December 2022|language=zh|author=Chu, Chyi-Hwa (朱麒華)|archive-date=19 October 2017|archive-url=httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20220825232903/https://epaper.naer.edu.tw/edm.php?grp_no=2&edm_no=33&content_no=875|url-status=live}}</ref> Therefore, Cangjie has become [[open-source software]] and is on every computer system that supports [[traditional Chinese characters]], and it has been extended so that Cangjie is compatible with the [[Simplified Chinese characters|simplified Chinese]] character set.
