Typing international characters in CAS? [SOLVED]

Verônica.

The probably easiest way to enter these names into CAS is to basically "mark" these names with your mouse (as if you were copying a text), whether they are on a website or in any kind of electronic document, then you go back into your game and CLICK on the right field in CAS (first or second name).

Now press Ctrl+V to paste the name into the field.

But if you want a more complex/faster way to do that, you may have to ask someone else, because I'm not too familiar with that.

//EDIT

With my German keyboard, I can type in letters with the diacritic "^". It should work for English keyboards too: press Alt + ^ ( the diacritic should be on the left side of the keyboard, and often on the left next to "1"). Now type a letter like a. You should then get â.

Moreover, in Microsoft Office, you can go to the "Insert" tab and then to "symbols" - there you can look for the letters you need. And most of these letters have certain ways of being typed in, namely by pressing several keys in a special order (usually involving the Ctrl, Alt and other keys). Or you can simply click on a symbol/letter, then on OK - now the symbol is in your document.
