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 whether the terminal emulation is in National or Multinational character set mode. When the terminal emulation is in National character set mode, only characters found in the character set that corresponds to the selected keyboard nationality can be composed. When the terminal emulation is in Multinational character set mode, characters from all national keyboard layouts can be composed. 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 together, followed by the key bearing the first character then the key bearing the second character. Note: The compose character sequence can also be initiated by pressing a key defined with the COMPOSE virtual key name. A compose character sequence may be abandoned before completion by pressing the Delete key. Pressing Alt + C (or the key defined with the COMPOSE virtual key name) again before completing a compose character sequence will cause it to be Compose Character Sequences 41
