I am having problems typing special characters in Byki 4.
If you have trouble typing accents and special characters, check the following:
Are you following the appropriate instructions for typing in your language?
Go to Help > Help and go to See Typing Accents or Special Characters if you are learning a language that uses the Latin alphabet. If you are in the Written Mode of Step 3, click the How do I type special characters link below the text box. If you are learning an Asian language. You may also want to see the Language-Specific Information for your language.
Is the accent or special character you are trying to type used in the language you are typing?
If not, you may have to display a different Keyboard Map in order to type that character. You can use the Layout menu on the Keyboard Map to select different languages.
If you are using the arrow keys to type the character, did you type the right base character?
Do you have the keyboard set to an incorrect language?
If so, you may not be typing the correct letters. Position your cursor somewhere you can type in the foreign language. Click the keymapper button to display the Keyboard Map if it not already displayed, then click to toggle between the native and foreign languages in a language list, or select an appropriate language in the Layout menu. The English layout will give you the standard keyboard layout used on most American keyboards. The English layout can be used for most languages which use the Latin alphabet. Other languages may require different keyboard layouts, particularly if they do not use the Latin alphabet. See Typing Accents or Special Characters, Typing Special Scripts, Typing Asian Characters, and Displaying or Hiding the Keyboard Map. You may also want to see the Language-Specific Information for your language.
Are the correct fonts installed on your computer? Try reinstalling the fonts along with Byki.
If you are learning an Asian language, do you have the appropriate IME installed?
See Troubleshooting: Installing an IME. If you prefer to type the transliterated version of your Asian language, did you set the Keyboard Map to the appropriate transliterated language?
Are you having trouble typing a Chinese period?
See Typing Chinese Periods in the Help menu.
Have you restarted the computer since you installed Byki or a new font? It may be necessary to restart your computer after such installations. In order to ensure that all the necessary fonts and files are properly registered, reboot your computer, then try Byki again.
