<div><p>The special-character keyboard set is available with the enhanced
|
||
|
|
keyboard on most display stations. It allows a user to enter special characters
|
||
|
|
that otherwise might not be available (labeled) on the keyboard.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following figure shows all the characters in the special keyboard set
|
||
|
|
and the keys on the enhanced keyboard to which each character is assigned.
|
||
|
|
A special character can be assigned to a lowercase, uppercase, or ALT position
|
||
|
|
on a key.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can order a special template package, SCX21-9950, that contains the
|
||
|
|
special-character keyboard set.</p>
|
||
|
|
<br /><img src="rv2c051.gif" alt="An illustration of the special-character keyboard set" /><br /><p>The special characters on the enhanced keyboard are used for this group
|
||
|
|
of languages: Belgium, German, French, English, Icelandic, Italian, Spanish,
|
||
|
|
Austrian, Danish, Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian, Swiss/French, Swiss/German,
|

|
||
|
|
special-character keyboard function is active for only one special character
|
||
|
|
at a time. To create a special character, follow these steps:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li>Press and hold the ALT key, and then press the Shift key.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press the key to which a special character is assigned.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>If a special character is assigned to an uppercase or ALT position,
|
||
|
|
the shift or ALT key must be pressed in combination with the key assigned
|
||
|
|
to the special character. The ALT and shift key sequence must be pressed before
|
||
|
|
the entry of each special character.</p>

<p>The following figure highlights

those special characters assigned to the lowercase positions. <br /><img src="rv2c052.gif" alt="An illustration of the special-characters assigned to the lowercase positions" /><br /> </p>

|
||
|
|
follow these steps:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li>Press and hold the ALT key, and then press the Shift key.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press the Shift key with the <img src="rv2c055.gif" alt="An illustration of the Diacritic mode symbol key" /> key. The diacritic mode symbol appears at the

bottom of the screen and is waiting for the next keystroke to complete the

|
character.</li>
|

<li>You now press the Shift key and the <img src="rv2c056.gif" alt="An illustration of the standard A key" /> key.<p>This produces the <img src="la280000.gif" alt="The A ring character" />. If you press this
|

key without also pressing the shift key, you will get <img src="la270000.gif" alt="a ring character" />. The system accepts only uppercase or lowercase
