Typing Accented Characters

To access accented characters, typing the key combinations may vary depending

on the keyboard configuration you are using. The following shows an example of

using each of the 4 key combinations.

Note: See “Character Mapping & Keyboard Layouts” on page B-1 for a list of

accent characters available with specific keyboards and the keyboard

configurations.

To type an accented character:

1. On the keyboard, locate the key with the accented character you want applied.

2. Type the appropriate keystroke combination (see Figure 4-1). The table shows
