It shows one-to-one correspondence between Chinese characters and four-digit numbers from <code>0000</code> to <code>9999</code>. Chinese characters are arranged and numbered in dictionary order according to their <a href="/wiki/Radical_(Chinese_character)" class="mw-redirect" title="Radical (Chinese character)">radicals</a> and strokes. Each page of the book shows 100 pairs of a Chinese character and a number in a 10×10 table. The most significant two digits of a code matches the page number, the next digit matches the row number, and the least significant digit matches the column number, with 1 being the column on the far right. For example, the code <code>0022</code> for the character <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">中</span></span> (zhōng), meaning “center,” is given in page 00, row 2, column 2 of the codebook, and the code <code>2429</code> for the character <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">文</span></span> (wén), meaning “script,” is given in page 24, row 2, column 9. The PRC’s <i>Standard Telegraph Codebook</i> (Ministry of Post and Telecommunications 2002) provides codes for approximately 7,000 Chinese characters. </p><p>Senders convert their messages written with Chinese characters to a sequence of digits according to the codebook. For instance, the phrase <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">中文信息</span></span> (Zhōngwén xìnxī), meaning “information in Chinese,” is rendered into the code as <code>0022 2429 0207 1873</code>. It is transmitted using <a href="/wiki/Morse_code" title="Morse code">Morse code</a>. Receivers decode the Morse code to get a sequence of digits, chop it into an array of quadruplets, and then decode them one by one referring to the book. Due to the fact that non-digit characters were not used, the Morse codes for digits could be simplified, for example one's several consequent dashes could be replaced with a single dash. </p><p>The codebook also defines codes for <a href="/wiki/Zhuyin" class="mw-redirect" title="Zhuyin">Zhuyin</a> alphabet, Latin alphabet, Cyrillic alphabet, and various symbols including special symbols for months, days in a month, and hours. </p><p>Senders may translate their messages into numbers by themselves or pay a small charge to have them translated by a telegrapher.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Chinese expert telegraphers used to remember several thousands of codes of the most frequent use. </p><p>The <i>Standard Telegraph Codebook</i> gives alternative three-letter code (<code>AAA</code>, <code>AAB</code>, ...) for Chinese characters. It compresses telegram messages and cuts international fees by 25% as compared to the four-digit code.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Use">Use</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Chinese_telegraph_code&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Looking up a character given a number is straightforward: page, row, column.

Septime Auguste Viguier, a Frenchman and customs officer in Shanghai, published a codebook (Viguier 1872), succeeding Danish astronomer <a href="/wiki/Hans_Carl_Frederik_Christian_Schjellerup" class="mw-redirect" title="Hans Carl Frederik Christian Schjellerup">Hans Carl Frederik Christian Schjellerup</a>’s earlier work.

It remained in effect until the Ministry of Transportation and Communications printed a new book in 1929. In 1933, a supplement was added to the book. </p><p>After the establishment of the <a href="/wiki/People%27s_Republic_of_China" class="mw-redirect" title="People's Republic of China">People's Republic of China</a> in 1949, the codebook forked into two different versions, due to revisions made in the mainland China and Taiwan independently from each other.

When filling up the DS-160 form for the <a href="/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_United_States" title="Visa policy of the United States">US Visa</a>, the Chinese telegraph codes are required if the applicant has a name in Chinese characters. </p><p>Chinese telegraph code is used extensively in law enforcement investigations worldwide that involve ethnic Chinese subjects where variant phonetic spellings of Chinese names can create confusion. Dialectical differences (Mr. Wu in Mandarin becomes Mr. Ng in Cantonese (吳先生); while Mr. Wu in Cantonese would become Mr. Hu in Mandarin (胡先生)) and differing <a href="/wiki/Romanization" title="Romanization">romanization</a> systems (Mr. Xiao in the <a href="/wiki/Pinyin" title="Pinyin">Hanyu Pinyin</a> system, and Mr. Hsiao in the <a href="/wiki/Wade%E2%80%93Giles" title="Wade–Giles">Wade–Giles</a> system) can create serious problems for investigators, but can be remedied by application of Chinese telegraph code. For instance, investigators following a subject in Taiwan named Hsiao Ai-Kuo might not know this is the same person known in mainland China as Xiao Aiguo and Hong Kong as Siu Oi-Kwok until codes are checked for the actual Chinese characters to determine all match as CTC: 5618/1947/0948 for 萧爱国 (simplified) / 蕭愛國 (traditional).<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Chinese_telegraph_code&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Code_point" title="Code point">Code point</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Four-Corner_Method" class="mw-redirect" title="Four-Corner Method">Four-Corner Method</a>, a 4-digit structural encoding method designed to aid lookup of telegraph codes</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Telegraph_code" title="Telegraph code">Telegraph code</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Chinese_telegraph_code/Mainland_1983" class="extiw" title="wikt:Appendix:Chinese telegraph code/Mainland 1983">Wiktionary page of <i>Standard Telegraph Codebook</i> (标准电码本（修订本）), 1983</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notes">Notes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Chinese_telegraph_code&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Notes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Simply <i>diànmǎ</i> or <i>diànbàomǎ</i> may refer to the “Chinese telegraph code” whereas <i>diànmǎ</i> is a general term for “code,” as seen in <i>Mó'ěrsī diànmǎ</i> (<a href="/wiki/Simplified_Chinese_characters" title="Simplified Chinese characters">simplified Chinese</a>: <span lang="zh-Hans">摩尔斯电码</span>;
