Typing Accented Characters
To access accented characters, typing the key combinations may vary depending
on the keyboard configuration you are using. The following shows an example of
using each of the 4 key combinations.
Note: See “Character Mapping & Keyboard Layouts” on page B-1 for a list of
accent characters available with specific keyboards and the keyboard
configurations.
To type an accented character:
1. On the keyboard, locate the key with the accented character you want
applied.
2. Type the appropriate keystroke combination (see Figure 4-1). The table
shows example keystroke combinations.
Note: The keyboard configuration used in all of the examples is North American
QWERTY, except the ring, which used the European QWERTY.
