[dba-Tech] Special characters

Hi Arthur

Ctrl+Alt+e usually gives me the e-acute, but when I went to prove it here, I get the Euro symbol... if I add shift into that combination, I get a capital E-acute. But that's on my UK installation, and I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work on yours.

Actually, I wonder if I have an auto-replace set up for that... as it doesn't replace it in the subject line!

I frequently have need to type the symbol for Euros, and also a few characters used in French, especially e-acute. I know I can use charmap etc. but I'd prefer to lose that sidetrack and just enter the Alt+number keystroke combination. Anyone know offhand the ASCII numbers for these characters?
