General instructions
Regardless of which input method you
choose, your phone has a function to
speed up the entry of Chinese
characters. Whenever you enter a
stroke or a Pinyin letter, a candidate
row of the most frequently used
characters containing that stroke or
relating to that letter appears at the
bottom of the screen.
If the character you want is not
displayed in the candidate row, press

Continue pressing until the
character you want is displayed.

stroke or Pinyin letter and a new set of
characters will immediately be
displayed in the candidate row. To go

To select a character in the candidate
row, press the navigation key or press

strokes, which are grouped into 5
stroke categories. Each category is
represented on the keypad by one of
the keys -. The Wild Card
key , is used when you are not
sure of which stroke to use.
Stroke categories
The 5 stroke categories are defined in
the table below:
The basic building units of Chinese
characters are components that are
made up of strokes. After entering the
first two strokes of the desired
character, the component and
character candidates that started with
that stroke are displayed in the
candidate row.
Using components is a fast method
for entering complex characters.
The smaller candidates surrounded by
dotted frames are components, and the
bigger candidates without dotted frames
are characters.
