Entering Special Unicode Characters
In any text box, to enter special Unicode characters, press Menu + Spacebar. The Special Character selector
opens, displaying special characters alphabetically.
Use the D-pad to navigate through the list: left-right to flip through the alphabet, symbol, and favorite sets; up-
down to select specific characters. Press the wheel to insert a highlighted character. Here are some useful tips in
using the Special Character panel:
• With the panel open, you can show the same characters capitalized by pressing Shift + the character (like
“a”). Toggle back to lowercase by press the letter again.
• To see all special characters, select All (at the bottom of the panel) or use the menu shortcut Menu +
A, and the selector grid expands.
To navigate between character sets (Latin-1 Supplement is shown above), press Menu then select one
of the sets listed on the menu.
• To see a specific character set, type the letter in the text box, select the letter (using Shift + D-pad arrow),
then press Menu + Spacebar.
• To type a character using its Unicode value, press ALT + Spacebar, then type the 4-character Unicode
value. You can view the Unicode value of any character on the grid by doing any one of the following
- highlight a character for two seconds
- highlight a character then press Menu + I
- highlight a character then press and hold the wheel
