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.

1Enter “ ”, “ ” and “

2Move the cursor to “ 信 ”, press 
.
3Move the cursor to “ 息 ”, press 
again to select “ 息 ”.
