Character set
The netBook contains several fonts, but all have the same basic
character set. This is the IBM Code Page 1252 character set.
In addition to the characters that you can enter directly from the
keyboard, there are many other special characters which you can
use. You can display and insert them using the Insert special
character command in the Word program.
To insert special characters in Word:
1. Open the Word file.
2. Select the Special character command from the Insert
menu.
3. Select the required character and press OK.
Note: You can also use the Shift+Ctrl+C shortcut keypress to
display the Special character dialog when typing text in most
other programs.
To insert special characters when you can’t display the Special
character dialog:
1. Move to Word, select the Special character command
from the Insert menu.
2. Move the highlight to the character you want to insert to
display its shortcut key at the bottom of the dialog, e.g. the
special character  has the shortcut Ctrl+153.
3. Move back to the program in which you want to insert the
character and press its shortcut key, e.g. to insert  hold
down Ctrl and press 1, then 5 and then 3.
