Chinese Character Indexes are essential tools designed to advance the integration of Chinese characters in computational processes. Produced under the University of California''s Machine Translation Project and with support from the National Science Foundation, this comprehensive set of indexes serves five key aims: (1) to enable seamless conversion between Chinese characters and code symbols; (2) to compile all Chinese characters in modern use; (3) to standardize character pronunciation; (4) to clarify inter-character relationships; and (5) to function as a cross-reference hub across multiple character arrangement systems.

The student will quickly make progress learning to comprehend and speak Korean. The material is presented using the romanization method of written Korean that is officially authorized by the Korean government as well as the native Korean script (Hangeul).
