You can also directly type in special characters using the keyboard. To do
|
||||||
|
this, you type the unicode code for the character (in hexadecimal) and then
|
||||||
|
press the :guilabel:`Alt+X` key which will convert the previously typed code
|
||||||
|
into the corresponding character. For example, to type ÿ you would type ff and
|
||||||
|
then Alt+X. To type a non-breaking space you would use a0 and then
|
||||||
|
:guilabel:`Alt+X`, to type the horizontal ellipsis you would use 2026 and
|
||||||
|
:guilabel:`Alt+X` and so on.
