NOTE: The Windows Logo + Q key combination will also take you to the Search screen. Point to (but do not click) the lower-right or top-right corner of the screen, and then click to select the Search charm.Follow these steps to access the Character Map program: You can use the Character Map program to add these special ASCII characters. NOTE: The numeric keys on the top of the keyboard above the alpha characters are not digitally equivalent to the numbers on the keypad and do not serve exactly the same function, even though they print the same number characters when pressed.Īdditionally, the on-screen keyboard cannot be used to type characters either as there is no ALT key on the on-screen keyboard, and you cannot hold the ALT key on the physical keyboard while using the on-screen keyboard because the on-screen keyboard will disengage anytime a physical keyboard key is pressed. Unfortunately, due to the design of the DUO computer, these special characters cannot be typed because there is not a keypad on the keyboard, nor does it have the numlock shared keys that a standard desktop or larger notebook computer would have. For example é is typed by holding the ALT key and typing 0233 on the keypad. On a standard 101 keyboard, special extended ASCII characters such as é or ß can be typed by holding the ALT key and typing the corresponding 4 digit ASCII code.
