Graffiti writing
Graffiti writing
The best way to learn is to practice. To take the Graffiti tutorial on your
handheld, tap the Graffiti icon in the Applications Launcher.
Most Graffiti characters are
made with a single stroke of
the stylus.
1. Start the stroke where
the heavy dot is. Don’t try
to make the dot; just start
there.
2. Don’t lift the stylus until
you reach the end of the
stroke.
Some characters require a
preliminary stroke. For
example, to write a
quotation mark, tap once
and then make the Graffiti
stroke for n.
Basic Graffiti characters (there are many more)
