Decode "注音文" — Chinese text typed as English keyboard keys using the standard Zhuyin (Bopomofo) input method layout.
When to Use
- Encountering unrecognized English letter/number sequences that don't look like real English words
- User sends messages mixing Chinese and random-looking English fragments
- User explicitly mentions 注音文 or asks to decode keyboard input
Keyboard-to-Zhuyin Mapping Table
Consonants (聲母)
| Key | Zhuyin | Key | Zhuyin | Key | Zhuyin |

| 1 | ㄅ | r | ㄐ | 5 | ㄓ |
| q | ㄆ | f | ㄑ | t | ㄔ |
| a | ㄇ | v | ㄒ | g | ㄕ |
| z | ㄈ | 2 | ㄉ | b | ㄖ |
| w | ㄊ | e | ㄍ | y | ㄗ |
| s | ㄋ | d | ㄎ | h | ㄘ |
| x | ㄌ | c | ㄏ | n | ㄙ |
Vowels (韻母)
| Key | Zhuyin | Key | Zhuyin | Key | Zhuyin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | ㄚ | 9 | ㄞ | 0 | ㄢ |
| i | ㄛ | o | ㄟ | p | ㄣ |

Tones (聲調)
| Key | Tone |
|---|---|
| space | ˉ (一聲，陰平) |
| 6 | ˊ (二聲，陽平) |
| 3 | ˇ (三聲，上聲) |
| 4 | ˋ (四聲，去聲) |
| 7 | ˙ (輕聲) |
Decoding Process
- Map each character to its Zhuyin symbol using the tables above
- Group into syllables: tone keys (
3,4,6,7) mark the END of a syllable. Structure: [consonant] + vowel(s) + tone - Identify the Chinese character for each syllable
- Present with the Zhuyin breakdown
Syllable Boundary Rules
- Consonant keys and vowel keys do NOT overlap — each key belongs to exactly one category
- A tone key (
3,4,6,7) always terminates a syllable - First tone (space/ˉ) is typically omitted in 注音文 — detect the boundary when a new consonant appears after a vowel
Examples
Input: e04
e→ ㄍ,0→ ㄢ,4→ ˋ- Combined: ㄍㄢˋ
- Result: 幹 — 台灣網路經典注音文
Input: cl3
c→ ㄏ,l→ ㄠ,3→ ˇ- Combined: ㄏㄠˇ
- Result: 好 (hǎo)
Input: su3cl3 (multi-syllable)
s→ ㄋ,u→ ㄧ,3→ ˇ (syllable break) |c→ ㄏ,l→ ㄠ,3→ ˇ- Combined: ㄋㄧˇ ㄏㄠˇ
- Result: 你好
Output Format
When decoding, show:
「{input}」→ {zhuyin} → {chinese_character}
If a syllable maps to multiple possible characters, list the most common ones and ask the user which they meant (if context is insufficient).
Notes
- Tone key is always the last character in a syllable group
- Some syllables have no consonant (e.g.,
84= ㄚˋ = 啊) - Space as tone (一聲) is usually omitted in 注音文, so a syllable may end without a tone key
- Context matters: use surrounding Chinese text to disambiguate which character is intended
- If the sequence clearly IS a valid English word, don't force-decode it as Zhuyin
