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 sentence or 
a new record (by tapping New or a blank line).

the alphabet, except that you make the character strokes on the

creates the symbol or extended character.

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
Use these accent strokes to write the following accented letters:
