I try to include the special characters on standard US keyboards in
some of my passwords. On a trip it Italy, I attempted to login to some
websites (not anything very secure of course) and I found that the
passwords always failed. I could only conclude that the local hex encoding
for the ! @ and/or # characters was different from what it is on a US
keyboard. Now since these are in pretty common use, especially @ and #, I
thought they would be no problem, but I was wrong.
Now, I could carry my passwords on a US thumb drive and paste them, but
I would rather find out what special characters are common to most European
keyboards, and select from those. I have not found anything helpful in
Google. Does anyone have and information on this?
