I heard it or read it somewhere very long ago, so I could remember it wrong...but it was that they use an ordinary keyboard, with normal letters, and then type fonetically. Then, suggestions of what they might mean will show up on the screen, and then they can choose. :P

It's not just symbols, Chinese characters are actual letters and they have their own sound. There are ways you can type in the english sound and the chinese character will pop up. I'm not sure how they do it in China though, pretty sure they have their own typing system.
