How To Write Chinese Characters In Word For Mac Osx
The easiest way I’ve found to do it (in small doses) is to copy and paste. I personally have a Word document call “pinyin tones” and that’s all that’s in it. Download it here if you want it too:

Simply enable your Chinese Simplified keyboard, then there are two options “Chinese Mode” and “English input.” English input allows you to type freely in “English” after any Chinese word, you can type a number and it will turn that word into the respective pinyin (add a tone), not the chinese character.
- To type pinyin with tone marks on your Mac device, you'll need to do three things:. Add the 'ABC - Extended' keyboard to your input methods. Switch your input method to this keyboard. Type the vowels with the correct tone marks.
- To type Chinese, simply select 'Chinese' language and then type pinyin using your keyboard. You'll be presented with a number of different characters. Select the number of the character/s you want.
- Enter Chinese characters using Stroke with Pinyin - Simplified On your Mac, switch to the Pinyin - Simplified input source. In an app, use a prefix key (u), followed (without a space) by the stroke input code for a character. For example, you can type the following.
Type Pinyin
Otherwise, if you have to do a whole lot of typing pinyin I suggest using a tool at www.xuezhongwen.net. After you get past the splash screen, click on “拼音 Type Pīnyīn” in the menu inside the left side-bar. You type “hao3” and you get “hǎo.” Very cool.
There is also apparently a tool called Wenlin that let’s you type pinyin with tone markings, but I’ve never used it (see Mark Swofford’s post about Wenlin).

Web Site Encoding
If you want to put pinyin on a website, and you want to be able to tweak the settings, use this tool by Mark Swofford. It will take “hao3” and convert it to “hǎo”. The only bad thing about it is it doesn’t remember your line breaks–but I’ve learned to cope.
