This is what I found, hope some of it helps.
Insert Unicode Character. To insert a Unicode character, press
ENTER with I then U. After choosing to insert a Unicode
character, KeySoft will prompt for the character. If you wanter
to enter an "e acute" type "e acute" at the prompt for the
Unicode character. KeySoft will respond with the character "cap
e acute," so press SPACE to find the next "e acute" character.
When the desired character is displayed, press ENTER to insert
the character. The Quick Key for inserting a Unicode character
is BACKSPACE with dots 3-5.
Inserting Extended Characters. Unicode characters only work in
text documents. If you wish to use an extended character in a
Grade 2 document, you will need to change to computer Braille.
There are three different ways of inserting an extended
character, that are suitable for different levels of use: a.
Searching and selecting the character from the Unicode tables --
For the first or only time you look up a character and if you
don't know its code, you will need to do this to search for it.
b. Typing in the character code -- This is quick and easy for
characters you use occasionally and can remember the code for.
c. Setting up a key combination -- assigning a dot combination
to the character. This is a good way to manage frequently used
characters.
Insertion By Name. This search is based on the name of the
character, for example "e acute" or "Eurocurrency sign. Follow
these steps to insert an extended character using the name
search:
1. When the cursor is at the place where you wish to enter the
character, press BACKSPACE with dots 3-5. KeySoft will prompt
for the Unicode character. If you have used this function
before, it will offer the previously selected character. If you
want to select it, press ENTER. If not, continue to Step 2.
2. Type in the name, or part of the name, of the character,
then press ENTER.
3. KeySoft will respond with a selection, either the character
you want or the first one to fit your search criteria. If it is
the one you want, press ENTER. If not, view the next search
match by pressing SPACE with N repeatedly until you do find it
and then press ENTER. This will insert the character.
An Example: Enter the word "resume" with the letter e showing as
"e acute, but you don't know the character code for "e acute.
Type the letter "r, then press BACKSPACE with dots 3-5. KeySoft
will prompt for the Unicode character. We know that we want to
enter an "e acute, so type in "e acute, then press ENTER.
KeySoft will respond with "Cap e acute, and using this as your
starting point you can search for all members of the "e acute"
character family by pressing SPACE with N. In this instance "e
acute" will be the next character prompted. Press ENTER, and the
extended character for "e acute" will be entered into your
document. Continue typing "sum, then press BACKSPACE with dots
3-5 again to enter the last "e acute. KeySoft will prompt the
previously chosen extended character, which in this instance
happens to be "e acute, so you just have to press ENTER, followed
by SPACE to complete the word.
