Compose Character Sequences
C
ompose character sequences can be used to generate codes for
characters not shown on your keyboard. The characters that can be
composed depend on the settings of the
National
option in the
Emulation Settings
dialog, and the
Preferred Char. Set
option in the
Terminal Settings
dialog. Both these dialogs are displayed from the
Settings
menu.
When the
National
option is selected, only characters found in the
character set that corresponds to the selected keyboard nationality
can be composed. When the
National
option is not selected (i.e.
Multinational mode is selected), characters from all national key-
board layouts can be composed.
The tables of characters that are used in Multinational mode depend
on the setting of the
Preferred Char. Set
option. When this is set to
DEC-MCS
, the ASCII (7-bit) and DEC Additional (8-bit) character
sets are used. When this option is set to
ISO Latin-1
, the ASCII (7-
bit) and ISO Latin-1 Additional (8-bit) character sets are used.
If a character is a diacritical symbol (e.g. ´ or ¨) and this symbol does
not appear on the keyboard, an equivalent character can be used in
some cases. The diacritical symbols and the possible substitutes are
shown below. There are no equivalents for the circumflex accent and
tilde mark.
Diacritical Mark Equivalent Character
´ Acute accent ' Apostrophe
¨ Umlaut " Double quote
` Grave accent ' Single quote
° Ring mark * Asterisk or degree sign
To compose a character, first find the character you wish to compose
in the left hand column of the following tables. The two characters
shown in the right hand column are the keys that are used to create
it. Several alternatives may be given for generating the same charac-
ter. A compose sequence is initiated by pressing the keys
Alt + C
