Symbols and special characters
International characters
You can create international characters by combining a letter

are ´ ` ¨ and ^. To add a diacritical to a character, enter the
character first, followed immediately by the diacritical. For
example, press ‘E’ followed by ‘´’ to get é.
To add a diacritical to an existing character, use

to
place the cursor under the character to be changed, then press
the appropriate diacritical key.
