I guess it is similar to a single quote but placed at the end of the character.
It has a loop to the left. Will be interested in hearing how others describe it.

Sorry guys, can't help there. I don't even know what a comma looks like far
less draw one! (smile). I will ask Martin to show me later for the hell of
it, but creating capital letters is amusement enough for me.

Good point about the comma Amro - I've also failed to do this so far. No
problems with other punctuation but just can't get the comma to work!

But, has anyone figured how to do the flipping comma?! Next stage after the
comma is the apostrophe!!
And to add my two pence worth, I find it quite accurate myself and perhaps
quicker than using the onscreen keyboard but definitely a lot quicker to
bring up applications. A very useful feature IMHO.
Cheers,

I've found it very accurate on an iPhone to be honest. It would be much
slower to use for a sighted person compared to using the touch keypad though
and so probably wouldn't be used

Gave this a go on my iPad today with my sighted lad. It's accuracy is not
one hundred per cent and, suspecting this might be my poor letter shapes, I
got Scott to have a go and he had similar results. I'm also curious to know
why they put this in the Accessibility settings suite instead of making it
more generally and obviously available.

Yes, this is a feature from I O S 7 that can be quite fun to
use. I
opened my phone app, selected the keypad tab and dialled a
number
using this function! Awesome!
