Abstract: A method and apparatus for electronic typing of symbolic language texts is disclosed. A twelve-key keyboard utilizing a modified four-corner identifier system permits construction of a first shape identifier code utilizing indicia which represent the shape of a character to be reproduced. Alternatively, a phonetic identifier code utilizing a phonetic alphabet can be constructed to represent the character. The identifier code is used to select one or more characters stored in a data processing system memory, each character selected by the shape identifier code having the same four-corner identifier indicia, and each character selected by the phonetic identifier code having the same phonetic spelling.
