supplementary letter () is added according to the shape of the last stroke of character. For example, the codes of and are both C, which have one letter only, so supplementary letter I and X are added respectively, making their codes CI and CX. Selection In case more than one character correspond to the same code, an extra letter can be added for selection. For example, there are three characters (, and ) for the code KPX. can be input directly with this code, can be input by appending V to the code, and by appending R. Boshiamy allows a maximum of five letters to be inputted at a time, so even for four-letter code an extra letter can still be added. Characters can also be selected by number keys. Shortening of code To increase input speed, a number of most common characters are given shorter codes of one or two letters. For example, (originally PDNA) is D, (FEBA) is A, (AQD) is AD. Additional "brevity radicals" () are made available for shortening the codes of more characters. For example, the original code of is JDEZ with the usual radicals, but using a brevity radical (J), it is shortened to JJN (with supplementary letter N for the last stroke). Boshiamy provides a special input mode for users to master these short codes. In this mode, users can only input a character by its shortest code, otherwise it does not output the character, but instead shows users the character alongside its shortest code. Other features Boshiamy supports Unicode. Zhuyin, Japanese kanji and kana, and other special symbols can be input directly with Boshiamy. Users can add new codes for characters or phrases.
