Using special characters

Since Quria is a web-based program, there are no specific modules in Quria to support usage of other scriptures, symbols or special characters. Here are some tips about common ways to enable special characters. Please refer to the documentation for your web browser and operating system for further information.

Microsoft Windows

In the Microsoft Windows operating system, there are two ways to enable special characters:

  • Using the Character Map

  • Installing several languages and keyboards

Character Map

The Character Map is a standard tool in Microsoft Windows that enables you to view all characters that are available in a selected font. It makes it easy to copy

individual characters or a group of characters to the clipboard and paste them into for example title names in Quria.

Opening the Character Map

Windows 10: Type character in the search box on the task bar, and choose Character Map from the results.

Windows 8: Search for the word character on the start screen and choose Character Map from the results.

Windows 7: Click Start, select All Programs/Accessories/System Tools, and then click Character Map.

The characters are grouped by font.

Windows Character Map

  1. Select a font in the list to display a set of characters.

  2. To select a character, click it and then click Select.

  3. Right-click in the field in Quria where you want to use the character, and click Paste.

Installing several languages and keyboards

If a language is listed under Preferred languages but does not appear on the Windows display language list, you first need to install its language pack (if it is available).

  1. Windows 10: Select Start/Settings/Time & Language/Language.

  2. Choose a language from the Add a language list under Preferred languages, and then select Options.

  3. Select Download from the Download language pack option.

  4. After the language pack is installed, click Back.

  5. Choose a language from the Windows display language menu.

Opening the on-screen keyboard

  1. Go to Start, then select Settings/Ease of Access/Keyboard, and turn on the toggle under Use the On-Screen Keyboard.

A keyboard that can be used to move around the screen and enter text will appear on the screen. The keyboard will remain on the screen until you close it.
