Sequence rules
To enter a Chinese character into the phone, you
have to enter it stroke by stroke. It is important that
the strokes are entered in the right order, otherwise
you may not get the character you want.
The general rules for the sequence of strokes and
components are:
• Over first then down:
• Left slope first then
right slope:
• From top to bottom:
• From left to right:
• From outside to inside:
• Middle first then sides:
• Inside first and then close:
