IRIS Showcase lets you create, display, and print common European characters along with other special symbols. This appendix lists many of the available characters and explains how you create them. You can also create special characters using the Symbol font. To see the characters available in the Symbol font, choose "Symbol" from the Font Family pop-up menu on the Master gizmp; then open the Keyboard gizmo.
To create the characters shown in this table, either:
press a combination of keys at the same time
overstrike two characters using the <Alt> and <BackSpace> keys
For example, to create the dagger symbol (†), press three keys: <Alt>, <Ctrl>, and 2. To create the trademark symbol (™), overstrike one character on top of another: type T, press the <Alt> and <BackSpace> keys, then press M
Table 5-1 shows the characters, their names, and the method for creating them. Some characters are missing from the first column in the table; they won't display.
