Appendix C
Symbol Font and Composite Characters

This appendix shows how to access the characters in the symbol font. Table C-1 shows which keyboard character you type to produce a Greek character in the symbol font. Figure C-1 shows the placement of the Greek characters, and other symbol font characters, on the Digital LK201 keyboard. Figure C-2 shows the symbol font characters you can create from composite characters.

To create the ISO Latin-1 composite characters in Figure C-2, press Alt/space bar followed by the two keys in the Compose Sequence column. Note that on some keyboards Alt is labeled as Compose Character.
