Specialcharactersarethekindofcharactersyouusuallycannotfinddirectlyonyourkeyboard.In

spiteofthat,someofthemcanbetypedinusingcombinationsofAlternateandControlkeys.

Theproblemusuallydoesnotappearwithyourlanguage-specificcharacters(ä,í,ń,ş,č,Aetc),you

canenterthemdirectlyonthekeyboardorusingAlt+<key_code>combination.alternativelyWin-

dowsutilityCharacterMapcanbeusedtofindappropriatecharacterandpasteittothelabel.

Youmighthaveproblemsusingotherkindofspecialcharacters.Sometimesthereisaneedto

includeacharacterwithASCIIcodebelow32.Theseareso-calledcontrolcharacters.Theycannot

benormallyenteredtolabelingoranyotherapplication.Thereisanalternativemethodofentering

suchcharacters,explainedlaterinthistopic.

Thereareseveralmethodshowspecialcharacterscanbetypedintothelabelingsoftware.

Entering characters with <#hex_code> syntax

Anothermethodofenteringspecialcharactersisusingthesyntax<#hex_code>.Thehex_code

standsforatwo-charactermarkinhexadecimalnumericalsystem.Theappropriatevaluesgofrom0

(decimal0)toFF(decimal255).

Forexample,<#BC>(decimal188)wouldbethesameas<FNC1>,astheybothwouldencodethe

characterwithASCIIcode0188.

Entering characters with Alt+<ASCII_code>

ThismethodisvalidonlyforcharactersthatareaboveASCIIcode32.Atypicalexamplewouldbe

FNCcodesthatareusedtoencodeGS1-128(EAN.UCC128)barcodedata.Thelabelingsoftware

willencodethistypeofbarcodeaccordingtostandardsandnormallyyouwouldnothavetochange

anythingaboutit.However,sometimesitisnecessarytomanuallyaddsuchcharactertolabeldata.

ToincludeFunctionCodesjusttypeintheappropriatecharacterforFunctionCode.ASCIIcodesof

FunctionCodesareasfollows:

FNC1 0188

FNC2 0189

FNC3 0190

FNC4 0191

TotypeincharacterforFNC1,pressandholddownleftAltkey,thentypeindigits0188onthe

numerickeyboard.Notetheleadingzero,itismandatory.ReleasetheAltkeyandFNC1character
