So, if the Chinese don’t have an alphabet and use only pictograms comprising of over 6500 characters, how do they type on a keyboard? Do they have really large keyboards with over 6500 keys or do they just say “Screw Mandarin” and type in English (which can’t be true because I’ve seen Chinese characters on webpages/spam emails)? Is there some kind of algorithmic key pressing magic that goes on in order to produce said characters?
Sample Text:
同志们
这个外国人连一点中文的知识都没有
真是笨蛋

The text is a joke btw, don’t take it too seriously.
Edit: Thats Pinyin for Mandarin. For Cantonese, theres Jyutping.

This has to be a shower head, right? I bet the sentence is about cleaning oneself
The fact that I can understand a good part of that scares me
