3.3 Compound input
With many of the compound special characters it is possible to input the diacritical character
first and then the letter. The diacritical character will not appear at first and is then combined
with the letter to form a special character.
Example
With a German keyboard assignment, press, for example, the keys ' (acute) and "a" one
after the other to obtain the character á (a-acute).
The keys with the diacritical characters, which are thus dealt with in a special way,
are marked with a special color in the descriptions of the keyboard assignments.

The information bar at the bottom will display the Unicode code (U+..., hexadecimal),
the code page code (in brackets) and the clear text description of the character.
If you have set up the keyboard assignment accordingly (see Section "Using a different
keyboard assignment"), the keystroke combination for entering the character numerically
will appear at the bottom right in the status bar (see Section "Numerical text input").
The character is copied into the "Characters to copy" field.
The characters are copied from the "Characters to copy" field to the clipboard.
The character is copied from the clipboard to the text.
