Creating Special Characters

You can create special non-keyboard characters that appear when a user simultaneously presses two keys. This key combination is called a compose sequence. You need to be in Compose (CMP) mode to create special characters.

To create a special character:

1. Start Compose Mode by pressing Alt+F8. This key combination displays the CMP indicator in the status line.
2. Press the two-key combination that defines the special character.
