According to Qianjiang Evening News, there are currently more than 60 million people in the country with out-of-the-way characters in their names. Once the names contain out-of-the-way characters, they will encounter trouble in various scenarios that require information system support, especially for cross-agency authentication. Because of the different Chinese character coding databases, in the face of out-of-the-way characters that cannot be typed, different organizations often use split characters, pinyin, traditional Chinese characters, and even spaces and asterisks instead, so the same person may have a different-looking name in different organizations.

The relevant person in charge of Alipay said that at present, in the authentication process, users of rare characters only need to click on the “rare characters” button next to the “name” column to evoke the keyboard, which only shows the rare characters corresponding to pinyin and not the common ones, in order to facilitate users to find and It is easy for users to find and type out the correct name. After the users of rare characters pass the authentication of Alipay, they can normally tie their cards, pay with their faces, and view and use a series of government services such as provident fund, medical insurance card and traffic management. The need to apply for the Zhejiang health code of the rare word users, can now also apply and view directly on Alipay.

The Alipay out-of-the-ordinary character keyboard is actually part of the Ant Group’s out-of-the-ordinary character solution, which is behind the special fonts jointly designed and developed by the Alibaba Puhui body out-of-the-ordinary character program, and self-researched input methods to solve the input and display problems of out-of-the-ordinary characters, as well as self-researched technologies such as one-word multi-code to achieve cross-agency network verification.
