How does one insert special characters into editors/apps in KDE? One of the characters I want to use frequently is Ø, a slashed zero which is frequently used in radio/tele-communication.
Thanks, Tom

There is a special app for this: kcharselect.

Wont it depend on the character set being used to display the text?

Hi Cor, Thanks for the response. I had already searched both kcharselect and gcharselect and neither has that character. The old fashioned way was to use "alt 0216" but that doesn't work on unicharacter (U + 00D8) systems. How are these characters entered?

I just entered U+00D8 into the search bar in kcharselect and it found this Ø straight away. I'm using the Liberation Sans font.

Hi Tom,
What I did was to add an entry in ~/.Xmodmap
something like this keycode 32 = o O o O U221E Oslash o O
altgr+shift+O shall give you Ø if you font supports it.

You need a font that has that character. Not all fonts do.

You might try this: enable compose key (Settings->Keyboard->Advanced) Configure keyboard options Compose key position Make your choice (I use Right Win)
Apply.
Now press compose key, then / and O: Ø, or compose key, then o and /: ø
Same goes for â, (a and ^), ä (a and "), and so forth..
Should work, wherever X awaits some input (as this is a X option).
Cheers, Pete
