Watch this video! :)

The topic about internationalization by @folaht (Suggestion: SAFE Network URL’s support for other languages/scripts through internationalized protocols) made me think about how various people in the world type on their computer. I immediately thought about the Chinese and their languages as they have many characters. This video is about exactly that:

In short, it appears most mainland Chinese people learn pinyin and use the pinyin method: A romanized version of Standard Chinese that when typed allows the text to be converted to Chinese characters.

From 7:53 the video might not be worth watching as it contains some humorist explanations about a sentence sounding like ‘**** you’ and the usual YouTube outro.
