31. A method of typing symbolic language text material through identification of selected features thereof, wherein different graphic characters for said language may have similar identifying features, comprising: storing a graphic character list and a permitted character pairing list for each graphic character to be used in said text material, each said graphic character having an index code selectable by at least one specified identifier code; generating a first identifier code corresponding to selected identifying features of a first graphic character; calling up from said first storage means all graphic characters and permitted pairing lists which correspond to said first identifier code; generating a second identifier code corresponding to selected identifying features of a second graphic character when a second character is combined with said first character in said symbolic language to form a compound; calling up from said first storage means all graphic characters which correspond to said second identifier code; and disambiguating said called-up characters to identify the character or compound to be typed.
