Question...sans dout stupide

Je me demandais...a quoi ressemble un clavier arabe, thai, russe, chinois...?
Does people from this kind of country use special caracters, or a special keyboard?
I think they use a qwerty keyboard, because more than 1000 keys on a keyboard is...weird...

Thai keyboards are bilingual qwerty/Thai, and you switch from US to Thai using Alt+Shift or the icon on the right bottom of the screen. All Thai letters fit, as "only" 42 letters are needed to represent the consonants, 16 for the vowels and a few more for the accents.

as for japanese systems, you have sometimes a QWERTY keyboard, and then by pressing the first letter of the word you want to write in japanese chars (e.g. : "W" for "watashi" = I, me) you'll have a pop-up window displaying a list of the kanji starting with the letter you've pressed...eventually, you merely choose the kanji fitting the word you wanna write
