Extended character set
The following two tables list the function key and character
combinations to generate extended characters.
Table 1: Accent marks
First, type the letter to which you want to add an accent. Then quickly
press the function key and the character indicated.
For example, to type the
ö
in
Köln
, type the
o
, and then quickly press
Fn and ; (function key and semicolon). The umlaut appears over the o.
See “Does the keyboard support international characters?” later in this
book to learn how to use the Alt key to make the portable keyboard
mimic the onscreen international keyboard on your handheld.
