20Getting started

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.

The smaller candidates surrounded by dotted frames are components, and the bigger candidates without dotted frames are characters.

For example, to enter “ 信息

1Enter “ ”, “ ” and “ ”.

2Move the cursor to “ ”, press .

3 Move the cursor to “ ”, press again to select “ ”.

Example of using the wild card key

The wild card key , is used to supplement unclear strokes in entering characters. If you want to enter “ ”, but you only know that “ ” 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.
