I believe this input method only applies to Traditional Chinese. Simplified Chinese characters are written differently hence the resulting code will be all wrong. For that reason, Simpified Chinese text is not native to this article and should be removed. Kowloonese 21:51, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I have seen a few old Xinhua Zidian versions use this system instead of the radical system. The dictionary was in simplified Chinese. So i have to say, they did apply the method to simplified chinese.

I think this method is very rarely used now both in Input Method and general categorization. --Voidvector 19:59, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)

I don't doubt such dictionary exists. But I'd like to find out when you use the Four corner method in your dictionary, do you look up by the traditional writing then it shows you the entry written in Simplified characters? Or can you use the method to look up the Simplified writing?

If latter, I bet your dictionary was a direct translation from the original traditional character version but the publisher didn't remove the inappropriate index. Kowloonese 21:13, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

That, I have no clue. I don't own such dictionary. I will check when I encounter one next time. --空向 19:01, Nov 20, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Headings

At the moment, this article could do with some more headings. It currently seems rather disorganized, especially to someone like me, who just wants (for now, at least) to know how the system works. Setokaiba^✌_≝ 23:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
