Keyboarding typing...

I've watched some cdrama, and notice when characters are typing on computer keyboard they are writing in latin characters (alphabet), only for those characters being resolved to chinese symbols.

Is this actually reality?

okay  

You can see the same thing in Google Translate.

Select Chinese > Type in 'wo' and you will see a list of characters come up that match the sound.

First one should be 我 = Wǒ = I/Me/Myself

Hmm

You might need to tweak your settings then...
