I made a typewriter for Simplified Chinese! ID:3306077

Usage: For each character you want to write, type the pinyin in.
Then, click the checkmark button to show the top 8 candidates.
You can also press the X button to clear the current pinyin. 
There is also a backspace and enter key, as well as punctuation keys.
 
If you can't type a character you want, then you have to draw it yourself, sorry :(
 
Source code (FILT): https://gist.github.com/uint128-t/085b05adb7ce6838d759ff8b9ed07744
Font: Noto Sans Simplified Chinese https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Sans+SC
Database: Jun Da Character frequency list of Modern Chinese https://lingua.mtsu.edu/chinese-computing/statistics/
 
Typing Examples:
(unicode doesn't work in the forum??)
ni (1) hao (1)
 
How it works:
It converts each pinyin into a 25-bit integer, and uses binary search to find the position of it in the FILT block. Then, it prints the characters out using a simple display.

TODO: fix it for 6 letter pinyin (there are only two of them)
 
You can use parts of this in your saves. You're also more than welcome to adapt this for other languages, etc!
