Q1、What is "HeChinese"? Where does the name come from?
A:The full name of HeChinese is "HeChinese Theory and Technology", it is based on "HeMa(和码) Chinese Word Coding Theory".
Since this technology is suitable to operate on main keyboard "and" numpad, and can be adapted to simplified 'and' traditional Chinese, so we named it as 'and'.
'and' in Chinese is 和, 和's PinYin(Sound) is "He". Instead call it 'AndChinese', we named it 'HeChinese'. Pronounce it as H + E +Chinese, not He + Chinese.
HeChinese is a systematical theory and technology for Chinese words, which includes 25 Chinese characters and their varieties, Chinese words' analysis and decomposing rules, and Chinese word study, practice and typing method.

HeChinese as a input method can type Chinese much faster than PinYin and other input methods on phone and computer.
Q2、How can HeChinese be used on main keyboare (with PC) and numpad (with mobile phone)?
A:HeChiese has 25 Chinese characters, starting from these 25 characters, we can learn Chinese words, practie and type Chinese words in computer and mobile phone.
These 25 characters are arranged in 5x5 matrix, and each character get its code from column and row number, for example: 丨: 31; 王: 15; 米: 55
