And they have alphabets like ours sometimes too, they are just bigger.

They have the "western" alphabet with short cuts to some popular Chinese characters, I think.

"Asian countries"? This basically only applies to China and Japan... But that's ok because it's pretty interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_input_methods_for_computers

and Korea.

No, not Korea. Korean uses an alphabet, so I'd imagine that makes life simpler. http://www.omniglot.com/writing/korean.htm

Yeah, here we go... "On a Korean computer keyboard, text is typically entered by simply pushing a key for the appropriate Jamo; the operating system creates each composite character on the fly." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_language_and_computers#Text_input

I'm merely saying No Way because I live in Japan and know how to type in Japanese. Not each individual kanji character gets its' own key.
