Using special characters

If a question for which you type the answer requires that you include special characters, such as accented letters, you can enter these characters using the Special Characters link that appears below the question number. (If a Special Characters link does not appear, the website author did not make special characters available for inclusion in the answer.)

To insert a special character in a quiz answer:

1. In a question that requires a special character, click the answer box. (You can type the rest of the text of the answer first if you want. If you do, click the place where you want to insert the special character.)
2. Click the Special Characters link below or to the right of the question number.
3. In the Special Characters window that appears, click the character you want to insert. The character appears in the position you clicked in the answer box.
4. Close the Special Characters window.
5. Type any remaining text to complete the answer, and continue to the next question in the quiz.

Notes

• Make sure your browser meets the system requirements for this website, and that you have JavaScript, cookies, and pop-up windows enabled.
• For each question into which you want to insert a special character, you must click the answer box, open the Special Characters window, select a character, and close the window. You cannot keep the window open and insert characters in several questions in the quiz.

• Inserting special characters works best when you set your system font to a sans serif font, such as Arial or Helvetica, rather than a serif font, such as Times or Times New Roman.
