Including special characters

In FTX, as in a word processor, many non-ASCII characters like ñ, ß, ™, ®, ©, §, and ½ can be input directly. You may need the assistance of a “key caps” or “character map” tool to locate and paste these characters, but if you can see them in your editing box, you can make them part of your pages.

In Microsoft Windows®, for example, you can use the Alt key and the 10-key pad to enter these symbols directly. (Hold down the Alt key while typing the character’s four-digit code on the 10-key pad, then let up the Alt key.) A few examples are shown below.

ñ Alt+0241
   ß Alt+0223
   ™ Alt+0153
   ® Alt+0174
   © Alt+0169
   § Alt+0167
   ½ Alt+0189
