here’s a wonderful resource for any future inquiries:

i’ve found it very helpful, and it gives you a range of options to get the same result as well.

On my mac at least, you don’t need to change the language to get to any of these characters in the picture:

Ã§ = option-c
Ã¤ = option-u, then a
Ã± = option-n, then n
Ã³ = option-e, then o
Ã‚ = option-i, then A
Ã¼ = option-u, then u
Ã´ = option-i, then o
Ã® = option-i, then i
Ã¸ = option-o

the pattern being that for the common accent marks, there’s an option combo that sets it up, and then it is applied to the next character. so umlaut is started always with option-u, etc. For the rest of them I just guessed by fiddling around with option combos.

I’ve memorized any of the alt codes used to type. Never had any problems. You hold down the ALT key and type the number for exmaple ALT-130 = Ã©

You can see the alt codes here:

you get them (at least on my keyboard) this way:
Ã§ = c+alt
Ã¼ = u+alt
Ã‚ = shift + Â¨, then A
Ã´ = shift + Â¨, then o
Ã® = shift + Â¨, then i
Ã³ = o + Â´

for Ã¤ and Ã¶ you have to change the language i think… I hope you’ll amnage to solve the problem!

Nice sketches you have!

i do it the same way Koukla does, though not with Greek, that’s the only way i get it working… the umlauts and the accents etc..

i’ve made a html file myself on which i drop all the characters i may ever need..
