  Even without state-run institutionalization, written Taiwanese has been in use in printed and handwritten documents for centuries. Depending on the situation, different scripts have been used, including Hàn characters (Hàn-jī), Latin alphabet, adapted versions of Japanese kana and Zhuyin fuhao (注音符號). Nowadays, Hàn-jī and Latin are the two scripts which cover the vast majority of produced texts. Zhuyin is mostly used for annotation of rare Hàn characters or in teaching materials, and for code-mixing in spontaneous writing. […] The Romanization is considered as the input that could be made by a user and the Hàn characters sequence is our target.
