Chinese character sets
Simplified Chinese
You can build up Simplified Chinese characters by pressing the appropriate keys on the keypad to
input strokes. As strokes are entered they display in the top left of the character selection box and the
set of possible matching characters is displayed above the Context keys.
You can also use pinyin to enter a phonetic version of a Simplified Chinese character (e.g. ‘Lu’)
which is displayed in the top left of the character selection box—in the same place as the strokes
described above—and the set of possible matching characters is displayed above the Context keys.
When the right and/or left arrow icons are displayed in the character selection box, use the Left and
Right navigation keys to select from the characters displayed. To see further characters press the
Down navigation key, and press the Up navigation key to return to characters already viewed. The
characters are displayed in sets of seven.
To enter the highlighted character—press Insert or press the Select/Send key.
Zhiyan Chinese
Zhiyan Chinese characters are composed and entered in a similar way to Simplified Chinese
characters, however when the keys are pressed to input the strokes that build up the character you
must then press the Select/Send key to display the set of possible matching characters.
