    I thoroughly recommend the book “The Chinese Typewriter”. It goes through the various challenges that the Chinese language pose. How do you order characters, like in an alphabet? How it was encoded in Morse, or later on, in ASCII. And of course, the various attempts at Chinese typewriting. Actually quite fascinating!

    Is there a way to see this without going to twitter?

      Yes! I originally found it posted on their TikTok account:
