the letters of the alphabet and one for writing numbers. The small

Writing capital letters
You make capital letters with the same stroke shapes as the basic 
alphabet characters. To make capital letters, you must first “shift” to 
caps — just as you press the Shift key on a keyboard — and then write 
the character strokes.
Note:Graffiti writing includes a feature that automatically 
capitalizes the first letter when you create a new record (by 
tapping New or a blank line). 
To draw the first letter of a word as a capital letter:

Writing punctuation marks
Graffiti writing can create any punctuation symbol that you can enter 
from a standard keyboard. All punctuation marks begin with a single 
tap on the Graffiti writing area. When you make this tap, you activate 
Punctuation Shift and a dot appears to show it is active. The next 
stroke you make with the stylus creates a punctuation mark.Number Strokes Number Strokes

Writing accented characters
To create accented characters, draw the stroke normally used to create 
the letter, followed by an accent stroke. Graffiti writing then adds the 
accent to the letter.
For example, the following diagram shows the strokes required to 
draw an accented “e.”
Accent strokes
Using these accent strokes, you can write the following accented 
letters:
