Special input methods
You can use keyboards to enter some languages in different ways. A few examples are
Chinese Cangjie and Wubihua, Japanese Kana, and Facemarks. You can also use your
finger or a stylus to write Chinese characters on the screen.
Build Chinese characters from the component Cangjie keys. As you type, suggested
characters appear. Tap a character to choose it, or continue typing up to five components to

Build Chinese Wubihua (stroke) characters. Use the keypad to build Chinese characters
using up to five strokes, in the correct writing sequence: horizontal, vertical, left falling, right
