Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the
Graffiti writing area, your handheld recognizes and displays the text character
immediately. Some single Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular alphabet
equivalents.
The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: one for writing the letters of
the alphabet and one for writing numbers. The small marks at the top and
bottom of the Graffiti writing area indicate the two areas.
