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.
Using components is a fast method for
entering complex characters.
For example, to enter “
信息
”
1 Enter “ ”, “ ” and “ ”.
2 Move the cursor to “ 信 ”, press .
3 Move the cursor to “ ”, press
again to select “ 息 ”.
Example of using the wild card key

supplement unclear strokes in entering
characters. If you want to enter “ 互 ”,
but you only know that “ 一 ” is the
first and the last stroke of the character
and that the total number of strokes
is four, enter , , , .
The character is displayed in the
candidate row.
