Can anybody tell me what Emacs input method is best for the input
of characters that are now rarely used?  For example Che Ci by
Qu Yuan has characters that are not used in any other book.
How do you input them?


My Emacs version supports the following input methods:

chinese-4corner 	chinese-array30 	chinese-b5-quick
chinese-b5-tsangchi 	chinese-ccdospy 	chinese-cns-quick
chinese-cns-tsangchi 	chinese-ctlau 	chinese-ctlaub
chinese-ecdict 	chinese-etzy 	chinese-punct
chinese-punct-b5 	chinese-py 	chinese-py-b5
chinese-py-punct 	chinese-py-punct-b5 	chinese-qj
chinese-qj-b5 	chinese-sisheng 	chinese-sw
chinese-tonepy 	chinese-tonepy-punct 	chinese-ziranma
chinese-zozy


I can read replies in Chinese.

Thank you very much for your help.

4corner is supposed to be the one. It is a character lookup method based on the shape of Chinese characters and is used as the index of characters for Chinese dictionaries before 1980s. So it is supposed to be able to handle all characters (and also bare a duplication rate for it is fixed length encoding).  
After all, if possible, write a program and extract Chinese characters from the 码表 (database), then calculate which database is larger…
