Ezi Stroke Mode
This mode allows you to enter individual Chinese
strokes, in written order - from top to bottom,
and from left to right.
Even though there are many different strokes
used to create Chinese characters, the strokes
are classified into 5 basic categories; heng, shu,
pie, dian and zhe. The basic strokes are printed
on the keypad, on keys
7
to 0.
To enter a stroke, press the key printed with the
stroke that most closely represents the exact
stroke you desire. The table shows the
stroke/key relationship:

desired character appears, you may select it as
described above.
In most cases, you will see the desired character
in the Character Selection Map area before you
have entered all of the strokes to build it.
