What is Graffiti writing?

Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with
only minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes any character
you can type on a standard keyboard. The Graffiti strokes closely
resemble the upper case letters of the regular alphabet, which
makes Graffiti writing easy to learn.

Entering characters with a single stroke

Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the
stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your CLIÉ handheld
recognizes and displays the text character immediately.
To allow you to write an entire character with a single stroke,
some Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular alphabet
equivalents.

The dot on each shape shows where to begin the
stroke

Certain characters have similar shapes, but different beginning
and end points. Always begin the stroke from the dot.

Note

You do not need to create the dot; it is only there to show you where to
begin the stroke.
