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 and character
candidates that started with that stroke
are displayed in the candidate row.

信息

again to select “ 息 ”.

character is displayed in the
candidate row.
