Three methods

  1. Handwriting: right-click the bar → Handwriting and write with the mouse or trackpad;
  2. Stroke input: press u then h, s, p, n, z for horizontal, vertical, left, right and turning strokes;
  3. Breakdown: press u and split the character, for example u mu mu for a two-tree character.

When to use them
