Would you like to know how to do it, Dawn? I can (or anyone else can) explain it very simply, for whatever electronic devices you use. Then you can utilize the keys whenever you write in foreign languages without having to adjust to an entirely new keyboard.
For phones, just hold on a letter in the virtual keyboard and the related characters that have diacritics will appear, and you can select the one you want. Here are tube quick visual tutorials, one for Samsung Galaxy and one for iPhone (they’re pretty much the same):
For computers, Windows has a cool built-in feature called “Character Map” that you can use to find any symbol from any font installed on your computer. Mac and Linux have similar programs available, but I am not as familiar with their names and functionalities. Here are a couple useful references:
Alternatively, you can use the ALT key with the number pad and the NUM LOCK turned on to input some characters without a character map. For example, holding the “ALT” key while typing “0248” with the number pad produces this symbol: ø
Feel free to play around and have fun with this feature a little bit. Let me know if there is anything I ought to clarify.
they don’t stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what’s wrong with taking the back streets?
You’ll never know if you don’t go (go!)
You’ll never shine if you don’t glow
Hey now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
