Chinese Character Indexes are essential tools designed to advance the integration of Chinese characters in computational processes. Produced under the University of California’s Machine Translation Project and with support from the National Science Foundation, this comprehensive set of indexes serves five key aims: (1) to enable seamless conversion between Chinese characters and code symbols; (2) to compile all Chinese characters in modern use; (3) to standardize character pronunciation; (4) to clarify inter-character relationships; and (5) to function as a cross-reference hub across multiple character arrangement systems.
Using the IBM 1401, the authors achieved rapid arrangement and printing of the index, bringing together linguistic detail and computational precision. The index is designed not only for scientists and linguists but also for those engaged in translation, East Asian studies, and computational language processing. In establishing standardized pronunciations and linking various character systems, this work lays a foundation for consistent character recognition and is a significant resource for anyone working at the intersection of Chinese language and digital technology.
This title is part of UC Press’s Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1963.
