Compose Character Sequences Keyboard Configuration Compose character sequences can be used to generate codes for characters not shown on your keyboard. The characters that can be composed depend on the settings of the National option in the Emulation Settings dialog, and the Preferred Char. Set option in the Terminal Settings dialog. Both these dialogs are displayed from the Settings menu. When the National option is selected, only characters found in the character set that corresponds to the selected keyboard nationality can be composed. When the National option is not selected (i.e. Multinational mode is selected), characters from all national keyboard layouts can be composed. The tables of characters that are used in Multinational mode depend on the setting of the Preferred Char. Set option. When this is set to DEC-MCS, the ASCII (7-bit) and DEC Additional (8-bit) character sets are used. When this option is set to ISO Latin-1, the ASCII (7bit) and ISO Latin-1 Additional (8-bit) character sets are used. If a character is a diacritical symbol (e.g. ´ or ¨) and this symbol does not appear on the keyboard, an equivalent character can be used in some cases. The diacritical symbols and the possible substitutes are shown below. There are no equivalents for the circumflex accent and tilde mark. Diacritical Mark Equivalent Character ´ Acute accent ¨ Umlaut ` Grave accent ° Ring mark ' Apostrophe " Double quote ' Single quote * Asterisk or degree sign To compose a character, first find the character you wish to compose in the left hand column of the following tables. The two characters shown in the right hand column are the keys that are used to create it. Several alternatives may be given for generating the same character. A compose sequence is initiated by pressing the keys Alt + C Compose Character Sequences 93
