These, and more foreign symbols can be entered with the symbol screen. Open it by clicking the Symbol button, .
The symbols displayed in this screen can be modified. See the chapter "Modify Symbols".
If the symbol of your choice is not available, choose from the menu [Settings][Preferences] Function keys definition. In this way it is possible to program symbols/words behind the F-keys.

Unicode
Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew and other languages have a script that does not fit on the US keyboard.
Unicode is an industry standard designed to allow text and symbols from all of the writing systems of the world to be consistently represented and manipulated by computers.
Source: Wikipedia.
Windows 2000, XP and Vista support the use of unicode. Arial is a font that contains unicode symbols.
Creating unicode words is possible in different ways.
MS Word has a lot of unicode capabilities, and moving content to and from Teach2000 is possible. Just use Copy and Paste. In Word: Add unicode symbols by selecting the symbol editor ([Insert][Symbol]). Select 'Arial' and the desired subset, for example Cyrillic.
