The Biaoxingma Input Method (simplified Chinese: 表形码输入法; traditional Chinese: 表形碼輸入法; pinyin: biǎoxíngmǎ shūrùfǎ; lit. 'shape-expressing code input method'), also abbreviated to simply Biaoxingma (simplified Chinese: 表形码; traditional Chinese: 表形碼; pinyin: biǎoxíngmǎ; lit. 'shape-expressing code'), is a kind of shape-based Chinese character input method invented by Chen Aiwen, an overseas Chinese scholar living in France in the 1980s. Because it is intuitive in the splitting of Chinese characters and has theoretical support in Chinese characters, it had once attracted widespread attention at the beginning of the invention and was listed as a key project in China Torch Project. However, there was afterwards no such influence as Wubi method and Zhengma method in terms of popularization and commercialization.[1]
Biaoxingma was pre-installed by Microsoft in Chinese Windows 95 and Windows 98 first edition,[2][3] but was removed from Windows 98 second edition and later Windows versions.
