That curlicue key switches into the so-called handwriting or drawing mode.


For those unfamiliar, launch Messages.app, and switch your device to landscape orientation, and then press that button.


You’ll get a window where you can input free-form.


Or press the button there and get back to keyboard input.


Put differently, try it.
