Using Chinese stroke modes
These modes allow you to enter individual Chinese
strokes, in written order; from top to bottom, and
from left to right. Your phone provides Chinese
simplified Stroke mode (
CHN S Stroke ) and
Chinese traditional Stroke (
CHN T Stroke ) mode.
The two modes work similarly, but the characters
that appear on the display may differ.
Even though there are many different strokes used
to create Chinese characters, the strokes are
classified into 5 basic categories; heng, shu, pie,
dian, and zhe. The basic strokes are printed on the
1 to 5 keys on the keypad.
To enter a stroke, press the key printed with the
stroke that most closely represents the stroke you
want.
The table shows the stroke/key relationship:
