These are based on feature phone text input methods using a keypad (aka T9 input)! People familiar with this method could type ridic. fast.
It’s interesting to me that this was kept only for a few languages, since T9 existed pretty much everywhere.
When I was in China last year, more ppl than I thought still use the 9 key configuration. They claim large tap target lets them type faster.
It’s a fascinating optimization. Curious why it stuck there, and not where QWERTY dominates.
