Entering Handwritten Simplied or Traditional Chinese
Write Chinese characters directly on the screen with your nger. 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 get some complex characters by writing two or more component characters.
For example, enter 魚 (sh), then 巤 (bristle), to get 鱲 (partial name of Hong Kong
International Airport), which appears in the character list with an arrow next to it. Tap
the character to replace the characters you entered.
With Simplied Chinese handwriting, Roman characters are also recognized.
