stroke shape for the letter you want to create.
There are several different stroke shapes available for some letters. For those letters, choose the one that is easier for you. You use the same shape to create both the upper case and lower case version of a letter.
4 Position the stylus on the Lower case letter area
of the Graffiti 2 writing area. Start your stroke at the dot and draw the stroke shape as it is displayed in the tables.

Note
You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti 2 writing area. If you do not make Graffiti 2 strokes in the Graffiti 2 writing area, your CLIÉ handheld does not recognize them as text characters.
Notes on writing Graffiti 2 characters
• Recognition accuracy improves when you write large characters. You should draw strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti 2 writing area.
• Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate recognition errors.
• Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the sides of the Graffiti 2 writing area.

If the letter “L” is registered as a menu command for an application, the letters “K”, “T”, “I”, and “X” will not work as menu commands. This is because the first stroke of these two-stroke letters will be mistakenly recognized as the command “L”. If there is no command “L,” any or all of the four letters can be registered as menu commands.

The following information enables you to create custom log-in scripts that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom log-in script.
Use of ^char
You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send ^char, and the ASCII value of character is between @ and _, then the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31. For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return.
If character is a value between A and Z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If character is any other value, then the character sequence is not subject to any special processing. For example, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.
Carriage return and line feed
You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the log-in script, when they are entered in the following format.
•<cr> : Sends or receives a carriage return
•<lf> : Sends or receives a line feed For example, the string “wait for Joe<cr><lf>” waits to receive Joe followed
by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer, before executing the next command in the script.
Literal characters
The backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as a literal character, and is not subject to any special processing ordinarily associated with that character.
Examples:
• \^ : Includes a caret as part of the string
• \< : Includes a < as part of the string
• \ \ : Includes a backslash as part of the string
