I stumbled onto an instructive video on youtube not that long ago. I'm
sure there are a few you'll be able to search for. If I understand
correctly, it's a combination of entering the phoneme by the nearest
Latin letter, then select from a diminishing range of suitable options
on the screen.

The video was more focused specifically on how this need - which
Chinese, Japanese and Koreans somewhat reacted differently to - caused
the Chinese to make great strides in computing.
