PO: Possession stance (214)
POR: Possession rush (PO 66)
PORC: Possession rush cancel (PO 664)
WR: Wind Roll (6B+K)
RM: Reverse Mill (BT 6B+K)

u/b u u/f
b n f
d/b d d/f
Or written out fully:
up-back, up, up-forward

down-back, down, down-forward
Hint: Look at your number pad on your computer keyboard.
Regardless of what side you play on (1p or 2p), 6 is always forward, and 4 is always back. Some more examples:
236 = QCF (quarter circle forward)
214 = QCB (quarter circle back)
41236 = HCF (half circle forward)

+: And. (B+G, meaning you have to press B and G together)
~/aB/bK/kB/bA/kA/aK: Slide input or input button immediately after. Input the buttons faster and in smooth conjunction. There are different timings for different slide inputs.

(any): Optional.
< or *: Optional delayed input. (2B*A, or 2B<A meaning after tapping 2B, you can optionally input an A that is delayed)
