Writing punctuation marks and other special characters

Using Graffiti 2 writing, you can create any punctuation symbol and special character available from a standard keyboard.

•Punctuation marks. The period and comma punctuation marks can be written in any portion of the Input Area (the uppercase, lowercase, or number area). Other common punctuation marks can be written only in specific parts of the Input Area. The chart below indicates where the punctuation marks must be drawn (in general, the more frequently used punctuation is on the left side).

–Characters that appear on the left side of the chart must be drawn in the alphabetic (uppercase or lowercase) portions of the Input Area.

–Characters that appear on the right side of the chart must be drawn in the number portion of the Input Area.

TIP: If you draw the Shift stroke (see page 36) before entering a punctuation mark, you can enter punctuation strokes anywhere in the Input Area. This requires an extra stroke, but you may find it easier, since you don’t have to remember on which side of the Input Area to make the punctuation strokes.

•Symbols and other special characters. You can write symbols and other special characters using the Shift command. When you make a vertical stroke from the bottom to the top in the Input Area, the Shift indicator arrow appears in the lower right corner of the screen. While this arrow is visible, you can make the characters shown in the illustration below. Once the arrow goes away, the symbol or other special character appears.
