Inserting special characters into data

When you create or save your data, you may need to use system-provided TI characters.

To insert special characters into data

You can insert special characters into text, program, and string data. Before you insert the special characters, make sure that your device can support them.

1. In the data window, place your cursor in the location where you want to insert the special character.
2. Click Edit > Special Characters.

A list of text options opens.

3. Navigate to the character you need to add.
4. Double-click the character.

The software inserts the character in the selected location.

To add special characters to computer file names

1. In the Save As dialog, place your cursor in the location where you want to insert the character.
2. Click Character Palette.

The Characters dialog opens.

3. Navigate to the character you need to add.
4. Double-click the character.

The software inserts the character in the selected location.

Notes:

Avoid adding special characters to the device file names. TI graphing calculators cannot support many of the special characters.
Because the character palette is system provided, it does not close when you close the Save As dialog or when you close the TI Connect™ software. You must close the palette yourself when you finish using it.
