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 and Chinese Traditional
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
