Special characters

The character key Chr, on the communicator keyboard is used to create characters
that are not included on the keyboard. The character key can always be used when
you are able to enter characters from the keyboard.

Note: Some special characters may get distorted when sent out of your

communicator. This happens in, for example, mail or short messages, and
is because of differences in network protocols.

To insert special characters from the character table

1 Press and release the Chr key. A dialog opens.
2 Press the Menu key to select the page with the character you want to insert..
3 Select the special character or characters, then press Insert.

To insert special characters from the keyboard

Either, press and hold the Chr key and simultaneously press a key with a special
character printed on the key as the third character.

Or, to generate special characters by using certain unmarked keys, for example, “a”
and “e”, do as follows:

1 Press and hold the Chr key and simultaneously press a letter key. The first

special character matching the letter key is displayed.

2 Continue to hold down the Chr key and press the letter key again. The second

lock key has been pressed.
