Your device 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
