| Gesture | Conflicts | Rare conflicts | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square | Lower case "o" | ||
| Curlicue | Lower case cursive e | Lower case cursive "b" and upper case "N" | We recommend the Curlicue gesture for cut. Because this gestures is generally written on existing content, looking to see whether it is written on top of some content helps distinguish this gesture from ink. |
| DoubleCurlicue | Lower case cursive "w", lower case cursive "u", the word be, or these letters in a word | We recommend the DoubleCurlicue gesture for copy. Because this gesture is generally written on existing content, looking to see whether it is written on top of some content helps distinguish this gesture from ink. | |
| Circle | Lower case "o", upper case "O", and the numeral "0" | ||
| SemicircleLeft | Lower case "n" | Lower case "m" | It is more likely that the SemicircleRight gesture will conflict with these letters.
