Apple Watch scribble letters and numbers

Is there a table that shows how to scribble a letter/number exactly? I do mean by a table a grid that shows each letter/number and it’s corresponding scribble way.

When I scribble letters and numbers together without spaces (for example car chassis number), the watch turns letters into numbers or vice versa, even when scrolling down to choose between the variants, it completes a word or a phrase, doesn’t show the exact sequence I scribbled.

I already know how to scribble the number 1 exactly, it’s by adding the top angled line and the bottom line. How to do it for the rest letters and numbers?

Your help is really appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello Majedation,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, you'd like to know how to use the Scribble feature on your Apple Watch.


You should be able to enter in the numbers by drawing them in the text field, as explained here: Send messages from Apple Watch

With that said, it might be hard to enter in content like a car's VIN number. The Apple Watch will try to guess what you're entering in when you use Scribble. However, it may be unable to match a car's VIN number because these are unique identifiers. If you are able to spell words normally and it predicts what you're entering in, it should substitute that content for the suggested word. You can use the Digital Crown to move the cursor into position to edit the content.


Hoping this helps out, take care.
