If you're running Windows 10 or newer, thy the "Touch Keyboard"? We used to have a special application tool we could call and let people select the special character. But then we started using the touch keyboard and it's much quicker. It allows for more characters than we had in our tool.

Hi Jon,

If CCSID 37 can handle accented characters, do you know how to change an
application to allow them to be entered? I?m talking about a 5250
application. Is it a different key sequence than what you use for Windows? I
tried Ctrl + ` and then type the letter. I just get the letter on my 5250 screen.
