How to enter special characters (díæcrïtics)
Here’s a detailed list of how you can get hold of special characters, also called diacritics.
Desktop computer:
Click the up arrow to bring up the diacritics menu and select the letter that you need. Alternatively, click the Äß / Éç / Éñ icon to do the same.
Mac (easy)
Press and hold one of the letters that you want to translate into a diacritic (a, o, u, s) and wait for the inbuilt function to appear. Then select the letter you need by pressing a number. To get ß, press and hold s, then click 1.
Windows (difficult)
It is a more difficult path – check this article if you are feeling adventurous. Or use the Shift+Up Arrow combination!
iOS and Android:
Option 1
Press the diacritics icon (left of the Reveal button) to pull up the menu.
Option 2
Add the respective (German, French, Spanish) keyboard to your list of keyboards.
Precise steps may vary depending on the OS version but generally should follow this path:
Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> List of keyboards -> Add New Keyboard.
Once you have the keyboard added, the app will pick it automatically every time you open the course.
Option 3
Press and hold the letter you want to change into a diacritic (a, u, o, s) until the inbuilt menu appears. Select the necessary letter by pressing the corresponding number.
