Components
Components are building units, made up of strokes,
within a Chinese character. Components are similar
to radicals found in the characters.
After entering the first stroke of the desired
character, the component and character candidates
that started with that stroke are displayed according
to their frequency of usage. Using components is a
fast method for entering complex characters.
Note: The components and characters can
be distinguished by their font size – the
smaller candidates are components and
they are surrounded by dotted frames, the bigger
candidates are characters.
Example of stroke input:
Your phone has an association function which is
designed to associate a stroke with a component, a
component with a character, a character with words
or phrases.
To enter words
In this example, we are going to enter the words
信息 .
1. Enter the first stroke .
Components and characters starting with left slope
appear in the candidate row, see also “General
instructions for entering Chinese characters” on
page 12. Press YES.
2. Enter another stroke, dot .
信is displayed.
3. Move the cursor to highlight the character you want,
press YES.
The character is moved up to the text row.
4. The other character 息is displayed in the candidate
row.
5. Repeat 3.
The character is moved up to the text row.

Sequence rules
To enter a Chinese character into the phone, you
have to enter it stroke by stroke. It is important that
the strokes are entered in the right order, otherwise
you may not get the character you want.
The general rules for the sequence of strokes and
components are:
• Over first then down: 十 十
• Left slope first then
right slope: 八 八
• From top to bottom: 早 早
