The Euro Character
For example, to program a key or button so that when it is pressed it
performs the same function as pressing the keys F2 then F3 then F4,
enter the following characters in the user definition box:
<F2><F3><F4>
There are various ways in which you can specify a particular
character in a user definition. For example, the ESC character can be
specified using any one of the following five entries:
_027
Decimal value (underscore character followed by a 3-digit
number).
\033
Octal value (backslash character followed by a 3-digit
number).
\u001B Unicode value (backslash and u characters then unicode
value).
^[
Control key value (^ represents the control key on the
keyboard).
\e
Additional value for ESC.
The following 'backslash' values can be used:
\u Unicode introducer
\n Line feed
Note that as the \ and ^ characters are used as value introducers, to
enter these as character values you need to precede them with a
backslash character, i.e. enter \ as \\ and ^ as \^.
The Euro character can be specified by entering the unicode value
\u20ac.
