This is a two-in-one app: A Nom Keyboard and a Nom Editor.

* Nom Keyboard enables you to type Vietnamese characters (Chữ Nôm) on your mobile phone.
* Nom Editor is a text editor that can display Chu Nom characters by default.

INSTALLATION

After installing Nom Keyboard, open the app "Nom Editor" and open the menu, then choose Keyboard activation. Follow the steps to activate the keyboard on your mobile phone. Essentially the first step is activating the keyboard in the phones preferences. Step two is switching the currently used keyboard to Nom Keyboard.

Switching from and to Nom Keyboard

After enabling the keyboard you can use it whenever you need to type Chu Nom. In any application where you can enter text you have the option to switch to Nom Keyboard to type Chu Nom. Of course you can switch back to another keyboard the same way. There are two methods to do so, depending on your phone. On newer android phones, after the normal keyboard opens, slide down the status bar from the top of the screen and touch the entry that says "Choose Input Method" and choose Nom Keyboard. (On older android phones, just long press the input area instead to get a selection of keyboards)

Displaying NOM characters on Android

Nom Keyboard allows you to type Nom characters, but it DOES NOT enable your phone to also display Nom characters. Therefore it installs together with a Nom Editor. Use Nom Editor to display Nom characters.

Alternatively you can use a third party editor that lets you configure a custom font from SD card. Nom Keyboard copies a Nom font to your SD card (in the /NomKeyboard directory) when first used. You can then use any text editor that allows you to use a custom font from SD card, some examples are:

* Jota Editor
* 920 Text Editor
* Simple Notepad
* TED

Just configure these editors to use the font on your SD card under $sdcard/NomKeyboard/han-nom-gothic.ttf.
