General instructions
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.
Stroke input
A Chinese character is built up of strokes. There are more than 30 basic strokes,
which are grouped into 5 stroke categories.
Components
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.
Pinyin input
Select the required Pinyin letters, and the phone will make various proposals on the
screen, according to the pronunciation rules of Mandarin.

Customising your device
