Learning Graffiti 2 concepts
There are four basic concepts for success with Graffiti 2 writing:
■
If you draw the character shape exactly as shown in the tables later in this
chapter (like the shapes shown in the following diagram), you can achieve close
to 100 percent accuracy.
■
The heavy dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke. Certain
characters have similar shapes but different beginning and end points. Always
begin the stroke at the heavy dot. (You should not create the heavy dot; it is there
only to show you where to begin the stroke.)
■
Graffiti 2 includes symbols made with a single stroke and symbols made with
multiple strokes. With some multi-stroke symbols, the first stroke is the same as
a single stroke symbol. As a result, the down stroke for the letter “i” cannot be
recognized as an “i” at the end of the down stroke. The “i” will not be
recognized as an “i” until you enter another symbol that establishes, by its
shape or position, that the down stroke was not part of a two-stroke character
(such as a “t” or “k”), or until a limited time window expires. Similarly,
recognition of a space symbol (a horizontal stroke from left to right) or a period
