Special Characters

EndNote references can include special characters, including characters with diacritics, and Greek, mathematical, and typographical symbols. Diacritical characters are a part of standard Windows fonts, while most symbols can be entered in the Symbol font.

EndNote uses Unicode to encode special characters, so that data can be easily translated between platforms, programs, and languages.

EndNote uses the default language setting set by your operating system. If the characters you wish to use require installing a different language pack, see See Displaying Extended/Special Characters.

Special characters can be entered into EndNote using any of these text-entry methods:

Diacritical characters can be entered into EndNote references and into EndNote term lists. If you frequently use certain diacritical characters, or words that include diacritical characters, you can store them in a term list and then select them from the list when entering references. See Introduction to Term Lists.

Note: If characters do not appear as they should in EndNote, see Displaying Extended/Special Characters .
