Strokes is an input method based on the basic building blocks of Chinese characters. A Stroke is
a component of a Chinese character written with one motion of the brush to paper.
Pinyin is a method of writing down the pronunciation of Chinese characters using the letters of the
Latin alphabet, according to rules that have been standardised in the PRC.
BoPoMoFo is a method of writing Chinese characters using letters of the Chinese phonetic
alphabet. This method is also known as Zhuyin and is mainly used in Taiwan.
FC Character Input
There are two different flip designs, one with
Strokes and one with BoPoMoFo characters.
Latin characters (a, b, c…) are included on
both. Pressing the * key enables the user to
switch between available input methods.
Elements are entered using keys 1-9 and
matching Chinese characters are displayed in
the candidate area. The Jog Dial may be used
to assist in character selection.
