What is a T9 Keyboard

The exact name of the nine-character keyboard is "T9 keyboard", which is the traditional non-smartphone keyboard.

Because traditional non-smartphones have very few keys, commonly used only 1~9 numeric keys, and to input Chinese characters, you need to use 26 Chinese pinyin, so each numeric key can input 3 pinyin. The miracle of "9 number keys to input all Chinese characters" was created, and it was loved by everyone.

Nowadays, smartphone input method still continues the T9 keyboard, and the number of T9 keyboard users is relatively large. Because it has the following advantages:

There are fewer keys, but the input has Chinese characters, and you don't need to search for too many Hanyu Pinyin on the limited phone screen to type.

So the T9 keyboard is a very popular one at the moment.
