SYV_ Symbol Values
Each glyph a
recognizer can identify has an associated symbol value. It is this value that
is returned to the application by the recognizer.

Recognizers
for the European market should return symbol values using ANSI and gesture
symbol values (ANSI is the native character set for Windows in the European
market). For the Japanese market, recognizers can use Shift JIS Level 1 and
gestures. When writing a recognizer, bear in mind that symbol values outside
these ranges cannot be interpreted by all Windows applications.
