Special
The principle of stroke input is to dissect and
separate every stroke of a Chinese character
according to sequence. When you wish to input the
character, press the keys corresponding to the
required strokes according to sequence to get the
desired character. The stroke input method in this
phone classifies a chinese character into 5 basic
strokes: (horizontal, vertical, left falling stroke,
right falling stroke and over-down) as well as a
special stroke. When the stroke you need does not
correspond to the 5 basic strokes, replace it with
the special stroke.
The examples below will give you a clearer
understanding of how to use stroke input method:
