Hi!

Yes. It's symbol (#251) is wanted by me - it's used on the lists beginning (punctuation) on text's. Other symbols (#253 and #250) can be removed from codepage.

Ok.

In KeyUkr: Switch to Ukrainian layout: Press the left Ctrl + right Ctrl simultaneously. For return to latin layout, simple press the Esc key.
