Write Chinese characters.
Write Chinese characters directly on the screen with your finger when Simplified
or Traditional Chinese handwriting input is turned on. As you write character
strokes, iPad recognizes them and shows matching characters in a list, with the
closest match at the top. When you choose a character, its likely follow-on
characters appear in the list as additional choices.
You can type some complex characters, such as 鱲 (part of the name for the
Hong Kong International Airport), by writing two or more component characters
in sequence. Tap the character to replace the characters you typed. Roman
characters are also recognized.
Type Japanese kana.
Use the Kana keypad to select syllables. For more syllable options, tap the
arrow key and select another syllable or word from the window.
Type Japanese romaji.
Use the Romaji keyboard to type syllables. Alternative choices appear along the
top of the keyboard; tap one to type it. For more syllable options, drag the list to
the left or tap the arrow key.
Type facemarks or emoticons.
