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 Favourites, 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:
nWith the selector open, you can show the same characters capitalised by
pressing Shift + the character (like “a”). Toggle back to lower case by pressing
the letter again.
n To see all special characters, select All (at the bottom of the selector) or use the
menu shortcut MENU + A and the grid expands.
n To open a character set for a specific letter, press SYM + the letter.
n 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.
