Who Needs Those !%#*&@ Characters?
Who Needs Those !%#*&@ Characters?
For most people the HP 95LX has an adequate collection of characters in
addition to the alphabet and numbers. The yellow shifted characters above
the second row of keys and on the numeric keypad provide a wide variety
of additional characters, including ` ~ ! # $ | \ [ ] { } ; : ' " <
> ? ^ and %.
But there are less common special characters that occasionally come
in handy: the numbers 1/2, 1/4, and 3/4 or ; the plus-over-minus or cents
sign; the copyright, registered trademark symbols, for example. If you
do business in different countries, you'll occasionally need to use an
, , or . Fortunately these and other special characters are easy to produce
on your HP 95LX.
Generate special characters on your HP 95LX by pressing <CHAR>
and any of the keys you see shown in Figure #1 or by holding <ALT> down
and entering a 3-digit character code from the Character Code Set in Figure
#2.
The only qualifying statement here is that your printer or the
software on the PC to which you will transfer a 95LX-created file also
must be able to generate special characters. Otherwise, you'll get strange
looking characters (or nothing) in place of where you wanted the special
characters.
