If you draw the character shape exactly as shown below, you can achieve 100% accuracy.



The heavy dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke. Certain characters have similar shapes, but different beginning and end points.

Always begin the stroke at the heavy dot (you should not create the heavy dot; it is only there to show you where to begin the stroke).



Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the Graffiti® writing area, your CLIÉ handheld recognizes and displays the text character immediately.

To allow you to write an entire character with a single stroke, some Graffiti® strokes are portions of the regular alphabet equivalents.
