The recognition of hand-drawn alpha-numeric characters and glyphs occurs within the boundaries of a box, or multiple of boxes, that you define for the input panel of your target device. The structure of the applicable language determines how multiple boxes are arranged; for example, the boxes could be arranged from left to right and top to bottom for English. By moving a stylus in a predefined pattern within the box, the handwriting recognition engine employed by your application can process and recognize this input, one character or glyph at a time, to produce the corresponding Unicode output.
