Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

For determining homonyms of logogram input, code may recognize a logogram from at least part of a written logogram drawn by a user or a typed logogram. In addition, the code may determine whether homonyms of the logogram are to be made available to the user. The code also may determine multiple logograms having a pronunciation that matches the pronunciation of the logogram if the homonyms of the logogram are to be made available to the user. The code may provide a hint list to the user that contains the multiple logograms to enable selection of a logogram from the hint list. The code may also rank the multiple logograms based on context.
