microsoft ime

[ioaz10]

the word 妳 is ni..

it seems to be missing

That would likely be because you are using the simplified character input method. It is possible to change it to traditional, however. Just have a look around. Should be a button on the language bar you need to press. Which particular language are you using to input Chinese? By that, I mean did you select Chinese (PRC), Chinese (Taiwan), or what?

[ioaz10]

Yes, I am using the simplified input.

[Guest saiyi]

the word 妳 is used only in Taiwan as You (for woman), and don't used in Mainland China, where "you" for men and women both is 你

In classical chinese 妳 is used as 奶 (nai), and means breast or mammilla, or to breast-feed.

F.e. 她自己奶孩子 (She breast-feed the child herself)

Yeah, you have to type "nai" using the simplified ime to get that character.

[gougou]

Yeah, you have to type "nai" using the simplified ime to get that character.

Doesn't work for me (I'm using MSPY3.0).

Duno what version I'm using. Standard one supplied with Vista.

I'll check later with XP on my laptop at home and edit this post.

.... Nope, character isn't in my XP ime.

If you use MS Word Xp or 2003 you can type 59B3 and then press Alt-X

So you'll transform unicode to hanzi

妳 appeared in ni after about four or five pages for me (using MS Pinyin IME 2003)
