Custom Characters (Unicode™)
6.19.2 Custom Characters (Unicode™)
Note: The Unicode ™ characters created here are accessible only within the Tek-
term application. To create Unicode ™ characters that are accessible system-
wide, refer to “Unicode Mapping” on page 84.
The “Custom Characters” parameter allows you to create Unicode™ characters not
available directly from the keyboard, including accented characters. Unicode is a
trademark of The Unicode Consortium. You can create up to 20 Unicode™
characters that will be stored in a pop-up menu accessible from any application.
6.19.2.1 Creating A Unicode™ Character
Note: You can create a Unicode™ character by pressing and holding down
the [ALT] while typing the decimal value that represents the Unicode™ char-
acter you want to use. However, you will need to press [ALT] and retype the
decimal value each time you want to use the special character.
The advantage to creating special characters using the “Custom Chars”
parameters is that the characters you create in the customer characters
table are saved in a pop-up window that is accessible from any application.
• In the Parameters menu, highlight “View Manager” and press [F1].
• Highlight “Custom Chars”, and press [F1] to display the custom
characters table.
• Position the cursor on ‘Font’ at the top of the table.
• Press the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] arrow keys until the character set you want to
use is displayed.
