Is there not an online resource hat could be used to find out what all the 'special' character key combinations are ie what keys I need to press on a standard US/UK/Chinese keyboard to achieve the character ie Press L-Alt + 0198 for the Euro sign Press R-Alt + 0197 for te pound sign etc etc.
Then no matter what keyboard we used if we performed the above we would get the character that the OP wants no matter where he/she may live.
- open /etc/sysconfig/keyboard - locate the variable 'COMPOSETABLE' its contents is a space separated list of filenames without extension - find the corresponding files in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/include/* - open those files and find the key-combo's Can't find a keycombo? There's always KCharSelect on KDE, and I'm sure GNOME has something similar... ;-) Cheers, Leen
