12 Getting to know your phone
Entering letters and characters
You can enter letters, for example, when you add names
to the phonebook, write text messages or enter web
addresses.
In addition to the way you normally enter letters in your
phone, using multitap text input, you can use
T9™ Text
Input to enter text messages and email, for example,
if the input language you select supports this. T9 Text
Input is a predictive input method and is a quicker way
to write text.

find the one you are looking for, it may be part of the
National Characters set. To turn on National Characters,
press
