===Mechanically produced signatures=== {{Main|Autopen}} {{more citations|section|date=September 2024}} [[File:Xu yin Yongyu.jpg|right|thumb|130px|{{zh|labels=no|c=徐永裕印|p=Xú Yǒngyù yìn}}, rotating character seal of {{Zh|p=Xú Yǒngyù|labels=no}}]] Special signature machines, called [[autopen]]s, are capable of automatically reproducing an individual's signature. These are typically used by people required to sign a lot of printed matter, such as celebrities, heads of state or CEOs.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.politico.com/story/2013/01/autopen-barack-obama-10-facts-085720| title = 10 facts about the 'autopen' - POLITICO| website = [[Politico]]| date = 3 January 2013}} </ref> More recently, [[Member of Congress|Members of Congress]] in the United States have begun having their signature made into a [[TrueType]] font file. This allows staff members in the Congressman's office to easily reproduce it on correspondence, legislation, and official documents. In the East Asian languages of [[Chinese language|Chinese]], [[Japanese language|Japanese]], and [[Korean language|Korean]], people traditionally use stamp-like objects known as ''name-[[seal (East Asia)|seal]]s'' with the name carved in ''tensho'' script (''[[seal script]]'') in lieu of a handwritten signature.{{Citation needed|date=October 2014}}
