That sounds like a pleasant way to augment a keyboard-based entry if
we decide to go with glyphs that don't resemble the underlying
characters -- if you can't remember the keystrokes but do remember the
glyph, just sketch it. (The font for the glyphs could even be designed
so that the way to sketch it is obvious -- which implies another
tradeoff.)

OTOH, I'm not seeing this as a useful _replacement_ for keyboard input
at our present level of technology. Maybe I'm wrong.
