...

1. Copy and paste from a reliable source, such as:
   
   1. a website (e.g. Wikipedia generic unicode information page).
   2. bibliographic record 990030609290204761. This is a record that Paul has created, listing special characters used in a variety of languages commonly encountered at UCL.
   3. the Windows Character Map programme.
2. Use combining characters as described on the Harvard Wiki's Guide to Entering Combining Symbols in Alma.
3. Enter codes to produce characters:
   1. Enter the Windows alt-number, e.g. for an e acute (é), hold down the Alt key and enter 130 using the numeric keypad. If pressing the Alt key gives you menu options, then you will need to turn these off to make this method work: click on the profile icon, UI Preferences, Shortcuts customization, then deselect "Alt + number".
   2. Install a browser extension, such as the following which should work with Alma:

• • • FirefoxChrome: Character Input (version 4). Allows entering of Unicode and alt-key characters. Press Insert key, then enter a character code: aXXX for an Alt Code , uXXXX or (e.g. a130 for é); XXXX for a Unicode code , (e.g. 00e9 for é); a valid HTML entity (e.g. eacute for é); c for a copyright symbol ©. Note that a0169, 00a9, and copy also work. Where possible some fuller and alternative names for accents are permissable, e.g. ehacek and ecircumflex will work although the correct codes are ecaron and ecirc. Codes can be all lower case although capital letters need to be entered properly, e.g. Eacute for É. This is a revised version of the the Unicode Input Chrome extension, which has been removed.
