u/mignyau gave a pretty good thorough explanation above, but a couple points of clarification:

hieroglyphs - The Japanese script you're likely referring to are called "kanji" and are technically considered "logographs". Hieroglyphs are a very different type of symbol.

Totals - there have been WAY more than 1,000 kanji in existence throughout the Japanese language's many years of standardizations and revisions (there is no definitive number). However, a little over 3,000 kanji are readily used in common communication nowadays.

Typing - most people typing in Japanese today use an input method called "romaji nyuuryoku" (romaji input). "Romaji" is a method of writing Japanese that uses Latin script (a,b,c's) to write out Japanese. For example, "arigatou" is the romaji writing of ありがとう. A piece of software on most Japanese computers/devices then converts the romaji into kana (Japanese phonetic script) or in some cases straight into kanji where appropriate. That's the basics of it, at least.

As with most things that you grow up doing in your life, you get used to it with enough repetition.

Yeah, you know - you can have more than one keyboard. The argumentation line is also very simple: One keyboard for every day of the week, you know - for variety, this can then easily be scaled up to day of the month, and special holidays... Of course for leap years you would also want something different...

So, the correct amount of keyboards to own is always "current amount + 1"...
