What is Cangjie input method?
Cangjie (倉頡) is a shape-based Chinese input method invented by Chu Bong-Foo. Each character is encoded by its structural components (radicals) mapped to 24 letter keys on a virtual keyboard. Once mastered, Cangjie allows fast and precise Chinese typing without homophone disambiguation.
What is the difference between Cangjie 3rd Gen and 5th Gen?
The 3rd Gen (三代倉頡) standard is the classic layout widely used in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The 5th Gen (五代倉頡) refines some encodings and expands coverage for modern characters. iCangJie bundles both standards — switch the default version in Settings → App Settings. On single-character word detail pages, a side-by-side compare card shows both editions with radical keyboard strips; tap copy on any code badge or use the toolbar to copy the character or all codes.
What does “quick method” (速成) mean?
Quick method uses only the first and last radical keys of the full Cangjie code (levels 1–2). iCangJie supports quick-method browsing in Levels, quick-code typing practice, and mixed mode (try quick first, fall back to full code after a mistake).
How does Lookup search work?
Open the Lookup tab and type:
- Cangjie code prefix — e.g.
abmatches codes starting with AB. - Exact character — paste or pick a single Han character.
- Pinyin prefix — toneless pinyin (toggle in Settings).
- Jyutping prefix — Cantonese romanization.
When a mode returns no results, iCangJie suggests switching modes. Four char-set priorities (Hong Kong, Taiwan Traditional, Simplified, General) affect ranking.
How does Typing Practice work?
Open Typing and choose a mode:
- Full code — type the complete Cangjie code for each character.
- Quick code — practice levels 1–2 quick codes only.
- Mixed — try quick code first; after a mistake, the app reveals and switches to full code.
Content sources include 16 built-in classical passages (Simplified & Traditional), random word lists, pasted text, favorites, and your wrong-book (auto-resolves the correct Han character). Live radical key highlights help you see which keys to press. Wrong-key behaviour can be set to keep or clear in Settings.
Session stats (accuracy, streak) and daily aggregates (kept ~120 days) sync via iCloud when enabled. Open Practice Report from the Typing hub or Settings → Learning Stats for 7/30-day trend charts and code-length distribution.
How does the Daily Quiz work?
Each day you receive a configurable number of questions (5 / 8 / 10 / 15 by default 8). Tap the gear icon on the quiz screen to open Quiz Settings:
- Word source — full dictionary, favorites, or wrong book
- Code length — any or 1–5
- Question types — toggle character→code, code→character, and first-key questions
Three types rotate when enabled. Card-style options with instant feedback; end-of-round wrong review links to word detail. Reshuffle for a fresh set. Wrong records feed the Wrong Book and typing retry.
What is the Newcomer Path and onboarding?
On first launch, a 5-screen onboarding introduces lookup, learn/quiz, typing, and widgets (skippable). In the Learn tab, a Newcomer Path card offers one-tap links to try lookup, today’s quiz, the first tutorial, and the widget guide (iOS). Dismiss the card with ✕ to hide it permanently.
How do I back up and restore learning data?
Go to Settings → Learning Stats → Backup & Restore. Export JSON saves favorites, learning status, wrong book, quiz scores, typing stats, daily typing records, and passage progress to a .icangjie-backup file. Import lets you merge with existing data or replace local learning data entirely. Backups stay on your device or cloud storage you choose — iHTCTeam never receives them.
How does Learning Status work?
Every character has one of four statuses: Not Learned, Learning, Learned, or Mastered. Promote or demote manually on the word detail page. The Statistics card in Settings shows your breakdown. Widget Learning Progress mirrors these counts.
How do I read tutorials?
Go to Learn for 11 HTML lessons and grouped radical chart images. Adjust reading size (85%–160%) in the tutorial toolbar. HTML adapts to light/dark; Traditional script when app language is zh-Hant. Pinch-zoom charts; swipe between images at 1× zoom; save to Photos or share (iOS).
What is the Pinyin & Cangjie Converter?
Under Settings → Text Tools → Pinyin & Cangjie Converter, paste Chinese text and preview multiple output styles (toned, plain, numbered, annotated, aligned grid, and more). Optionally overlay Cangjie codes for your current standard, then copy or share as a preview image.
How do I set up iCloud sync?
Go to Settings → iCloud Sync and toggle it on. Ensure you are signed in to iCloud. Once active, iCangJie syncs favorites, learning status, wrong question book, quiz scores & streak, typing statistics, and built-in passage progress across your devices. You can turn it off at any time.
Typing UI preferences (wrong-key retention, passage pinyin) stay on each device only.
How do I add and use widgets?
Long-press your Home Screen or Lock Screen, tap +, and search for “iCangJie.” iCangJie offers 8 widget kinds: Daily Character (shuffle on medium), Code Length (pick 1–5 when adding; shuffle button on medium to refresh the trio), Daily Quiz, Typing Glance, Favorites, Wrong Book, Recent, and Learning Progress. Favorites / Wrong / Recent show rice-grid previews with codes. Widgets also work in StandBy (iOS 17+). See the in-app Widget Guide for step-by-step setup.
How do I customize themes and language?
Go to Settings → Theme for 16 built-in gradient themes or a custom accent color. Set appearance to system / light / dark. Under App Settings, pick in-app language (English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, or follow system) — the UI refreshes instantly. Widgets mirror language and accent via App Group.
Configure up to 4 Home Screen Quick Actions under Settings → App Settings → Home Screen shortcuts. On iOS, toggle Spotlight Search in the same card to index favorites and recent characters in system Spotlight (up to 80 entries, 30-day expiry).
What are Siri and Shortcuts App Intents?
On iOS 16+, iCangJie registers built-in App Intents: look up the Cangjie code for a character, start the daily quiz, and open lookup search. Find them in the Shortcuts app or say phrases like “Look up Cangjie code for 颉 in iCangJie”. Intents write a pending deep link consumed when the app opens. See the URL Scheme Reference.
What are Deep Links and how do I use them?
iCangJie supports the iCangJie:// URL scheme. Paths include search, word, quiz, typing, favorites, wrong, levels, learn, feedback, and review. Use them in Shortcuts, bookmarks, or automations. See the URL Scheme Reference.
Does iCangJie work on Mac?
Yes. iCangJie is a native macOS app with transparent navigation chrome, Esc back navigation, system share sheet, and full typing practice. Lookup integrates with the system search bar; tutorial external links open in Safari.
Does iCangJie work offline?
Yes. The dictionary, quizzes, tutorials, typing practice, and converter tools work offline. Optional iCloud sync uses Apple’s iCloud Key-Value Storage. Online lookup (Youdao) and external tutorial links require network.
Why does iCangJie ask for Photo Library access?
Only when you tap Save to Photos on a radical chart image in a tutorial. iCangJie requests add-only photo library permission — it never reads your existing photos.
Does iCangJie collect any personal data?
No. iCangJie does not collect, store, or transmit personal data. There are no analytics, advertising SDKs, or tracking. See the Privacy Policy.
