Quick (Sucheng) code finder
Quick (速成) input uses only the first and last Cangjie code, so many characters share each two-letter code. This finder shows exactly where a character sits in the candidate list.
How to use
- Type Chinese characters to see each one’s Quick code, page number and selection key.
- Or type a one- or two-letter code to list all its candidates in order, nine per page.
- Characters near the top of a list are the common ones; rarer characters need page turns.
How Quick (速成) works
Quick, also called Sucheng or Simplified Cangjie (簡易), takes a full Cangjie code and keeps only its first and last letters. 我 (HQI) becomes HI, 學 (HBND) becomes HD. Single-letter codes stay as they are. Because you never type more than two letters, Quick is easy to learn, but each code is shared by many characters and you pick yours from a list.
The order here ranks common Hong Kong characters first, similar to modern Quick input methods. Your own input method may order candidates slightly differently or learn from what you type.
Frequently asked questions
Is Quick the same as Simplified Cangjie (簡易)?
Yes. Quick, Sucheng (速成) and Simplified Cangjie (簡易) are names for the same two-code method. It has nothing to do with Simplified Chinese characters.
Should I learn Quick or full Cangjie?
Quick is easier to start with. Full Cangjie is faster once learned because most codes are unique. Many people start with Quick and switch later, and the decomposition skill carries over.
