Type Special Unicode Characters
To type special Unicode characters in any text box, press the
SYM
key. The Special
Character selector opens, displaying special characters alphabetically.
Use the D-pad or trackball to navigate through the list: left-right to flip through the
Favorites, Recent, alphabet, and symbol sets; up-down to select specific characters.
Press the trackball to insert a highlighted character. Here are some useful tips in
using the Special Character selector:
With the selector open, you can show the same characters capitalized by
pressing
Shift
+
the character (like “a”). Toggle back to lowercase by pressing
the letter again.
To see all special characters, select
All
(at the bottom of the selector) or use the
menu shortcut
MENU
+
A
, and the grid expands.
To open a character set for a specific letter, press
SYM
+
the letter.
To type a character using its Unicode value (hover over a selection in the
selector for two seconds to see code), press
SYM
+
Spacebar
(press the keys
simultaneously), then type the 4-character Unicode value.
