Special characters and the ASCII/ISO panel

Select ASCII/ISO table (Windows menu, Shift Ctrl A) to open the ASCII/ISO table panel. It gives an overview of the character set associated to a window.

ALTERNATIVE METHODS

Other methods to get characters not available on the keyboard are:
  1. Hold down the Alt key, type a decimal ASCII code on the numerical keypad, and release alternate, or press the Enter key. The character corresponding to the ASCII code is inserted into the text.
  2. Press the multi-key or compose key, then enter an accent followed by a letter. Accent keys are quotes, dashes, commas.
  3. Press a dead key followed by a letter.
  4. There are preset shortcut sets that offer shortcuts for commonly typed special characters. For example, in the set latin1.preset, an a with an accent grave is obtained by entering an a followed by a backquote and Escape. There are shortcut sets for 6 ISO Latin character sets.
