International and special characters

Troubleshooting special characters

International characters are supported by both Macintosh and
Windows computers. Some Windows applications don't support the
Microsoft international character set and may have problems
correctly displaying international characters. If characters haven't
transferred correctly to a particular Windows application, you can try
the workaround described here.
To transfer international characters to problematic Windows
applications:
1. On your computer, open the Notepad application.
2. On your Neo, send your text to Notepad.
3. In Notepad, select all the text, then press Ctrl-C to copy it to the
Windows clipboard.
4. Open a new file in the application that didn't accept the special
characters earlier.
5. Paste the text into a document in that application.
Copying and pasting through the clipboard usually solves the
problem because the clipboard performs the appropriate
translations.
