Think about it, though. You type phonetically in one script, then select a character in another script that might be pronounced in a similar way. That's like entering Hangul syllables that sound similar to what you want, then choosing the right English character sequences.

How else would you input a script with more than 50k characters? > You type phonetically in one script, then select a character in another script that might be pronounced in a similar way. Sure. Japanese works the same way, you input in kana or romaji, then select the suitable kanji (or kanji sequence). Of course it only works when you have a regular phonology, that would be completely impossible for english since by and large orthography and pronunciation have no relation.
- amake 10y agoI've thought about it. I input Japanese every day, Chinese frequently, and Korean on occasion. The Latin alphabet is a first-class citizen in these languages; I don't see the issue. In fact English is becoming the same way: when you input "apple" and choose the [U+1F34E RED APPLE; stripped from input on HN] suggestion you've done exactly the same thing.
