Using Character Map

The Character Map program (CHARMAP.EXE) is supplied with all versions of Windows. Both diacritical characters and symbols can be entered using the Character Map:

To use the Character Map program:

1. From the Windows Start > Programs menu, select Accessories, then System Tools, then Character Map.

2. Select the Symbol font, if necessary. (Other fonts will revert to the Typing Display Font when pasted in EndNote.)

3. Double-click the character(s) you need.

4. Click the Copy button to copy the characters to the Clipboard.

5. Return to EndNote, position the cursor in a reference, then select Paste from the Edit menu to paste the characters.

Or, with both your EndNote reference open and Character Map open, you can click on a character in Character Map and then drag-and-drop it into your EndNote reference.

Note: The Character Map may include some Unicode characters that will not work in your selected font. If you insert a character that is not recognized, it will appear in EndNote as a box.
