<p>You can enter and view thousands of characters from most of the world's

writing systems, even those not found on your keyboard. This page lists

some different ways you can enter special characters.</p>

<title>Character map</title>
48
<p>GNOME comes with a character map application that allows you to browse
49
all the characters in Unicode. Use the character map to find the character
50
you want, and then copy and paste it to wherever you need it.</p>
51
<p>You can find <app>Character Map</app> in the <gui>Activities</gui> overview.
52
For more information on the character map, see the
53
<link href="help:gucharmap">Character Map Manual</link>.</p>

<title>Compose key</title>
58
<p>A compose key is a special key that allows you to press multiple keys
59
in a row to get a special character. For example, to type the accented
60
letter <em>é</em>, you can press <key>compose</key> then <key>'</key>
61
then <key>e</key>.</p>
62
<p>Keyboards don't have specific compose keys. Instead, you can define
63
one of the existing keys on your keyboard as a compose key.</p>

66
<item><p>Klepněte na své jméno v horní liště a zvolte <gui>Nastavení systému</gui>.</p></item>
67
<item><p>Click <gui>Region & Language</gui>.</p></item>
68
<item><p>Select the <gui>Input Sources</gui> tab and click
69
<gui>Shortcut Settings</gui>.</p></item>
70
<item><p>Click on <gui>Compose Key</gui> in the right pane.</p></item>
71
<item><p>Click on <gui>Disabled</gui> and select the key you would like to
72
behave as a compose key. You can choose <key>Caps Lock</key>, either of
73
the <key>Ctrl</key> keys, the right <key>Alt</key> key, the right
74
<key>Win</key> or <key><link xref="windows-key">Super</link></key> key if
75
you have one, or the menu key. Any key you select will then only work as a
76
compose key, and will no longer work for its original purpose.</p></item>
78
<p>You can type many common characters using the compose key, for
81
<item><p>Press <key>compose</key> then <key>'</key> then a letter to
82
place an acute accent over that letter, such as <em>é</em>.</p></item>
83
<item><p>Press <key>compose</key> then <key>`</key> (back tick) then a
84
letter to place a grave accent over that letter, such as
85
<em>è</em>.</p></item>
86
<item><p>Press <key>compose</key> then <key>"</key> then a letter to
87
place an umlaut over that letter, such as <em>ë</em>.</p></item>
88
<item><p>Press <key>compose</key> then <key>-</key> then a letter to
89
place a macron over that letter, such as <em>ē</em>.</p></item>
91

compose key page on Wikipedia</link>.</p>

<title>Code points</title>
97
<p>You can enter any Unicode character using only your keyboard with the numeric
98
code point of the character. Every character is identified by a four-character
99
code point. To find the code point for a character, find the character in the
100
character map application and look in the status bar or the <gui>Character
101
Details</gui> tab. The code point is the four characters after <gui>U+</gui>.</p>
103
<p>To enter a character by its code point, hold down <key>Ctrl</key> and
104
<key>Shift</key>, type <key>u</key> followed by the four-character code
105
point, then release <key>Ctrl</key> and <key>Shift</key>. If you often use
106
characters that you can't easily access with other methods, you might find
107
it useful to memorize the code point for those characters so you can enter
111
<section id="layout">
112
<title>Keyboard layouts</title>
113
<p>You can make your keyboard behave like the keyboard for another language,
114
regardless of the letters printed on the keys. You can even easily switch
115
between different keyboard layouts using an icon in the top bar. To learn
116
how, see <link xref="keyboard-layouts"/>.</p>
120
<title>Input methods</title>
121
<p>An Input Method expands the previous methods by allowing to enter
122
characters not only with keyboard but any input devices also. For instance
123
you could enter characters with a mouse using a gesture method, or enter
124
Japanese characters using a Latin keyboard.</p>
126
<p>To choose an input method, right-click over a text widget, and in the menu
127
<gui>Input Method</gui>, choose an input method you want to use. There is
128
no default input method provided, so refer to the input methods
129
documentation to see how to use them.</p>
