Writing Capital Letters with Graffiti
You make capital letters with the same stroke shapes as the basic
alphabet characters. To make capital letters, you must first “shift”
to caps — just as you press the Shift key on a keyboard — and

Note: Graffiti incorporates a Smart Shifting feature which will
automatically capitalize the first letter when you create a new
record (by tapping a New button or a blank line).

Writing Numbers with Graffiti
Writing numbers with Graffiti is similar to writing letters of the
alphabet, except that you make the character strokes on the right-
hand side (numbers side) of the Graffiti writing area.
