Character Input Extension

Allows entering of symbols and diacritics into the Alma Metadata Editor (MDE) using Unicode, Alt-key codes, or HTML entity codes. It is designed to make the input of diacritics and symbols easy without needing to use a separate application or copy and paste from a website. It supports 4-digit Unicode hex codes, almost all HTML entity references, as well as Alt-key codes; it also allows quick entry of the copyright symbol.

Press Insert key, then enter a character code:

- aXXX for an Alt Code (e.g. a130 for é) ,
- XXXX for a Unicode code (e.g. 00e9 for é)
- Any valid HTML entity (e.g. eacute for é) except IJ
- c for a copyright symbol ©. Note that a0169, 00a9, and copy also work.

Note that HTML entity references do not need the & and ; to be entered. Where possible some fuller and alternative names for accents are permissable, e.g. ehacek and ecircumflex will work although the correct codes are ecaron and ecirc. Codes can be all lower case although capital letters need to be entered properly, e.g. Eacute for É.

Designed for Ex Libris Alma.

Entering uXXXX for Unicode is deprecated from version 4.
