Abstract

An apparatus for receiving sets of direction codes via an input device (130) and converting said direction codes into a corresponding character. A user operates an input device (130) configured to generate direction codes representative of elemental strokes used in the formation of a character. A processor (110) receives the direction codes and converts them to standard characters such as letters, numbers or punctuation. The conversion may be accomplished via a database (120) such as a lookup table, decision tree or other data structure. The apparatus includes a display (140) for displaying the standard character to the user. A corresponding method is also described.
