User:Zoeannl/Project guideline/Proofreader’s Guide/Non-Keyboard Characters

Please proofread these using the proper symbols or accented characters to match the image, where possible. Non-keyboard characters can be found on your pull-down menu, see Inserting Special Characters for information on how to input these characters during proofreading. There is also a Gadget Editing tool for keyboard shortcuts under Preferences (tab at top right of this page, if you are logged in).

Templates are available for

,, SS 1 SS undefined, SS 2, SS 3, SS 4. These should have their own menu, eventually. In the meantime, as an exception, use templates:

s, 2 s|2, 1 ss, 2 ss|2, 3 ss|3, 4 ss|4, f f ditto

Non-Latin Characters
Some projects contain text printed in non-Latin languages; that is, characters other than the Latin A...Z—for example, Greek, Cyrillic (used in Russian, Slavic, and other languages), Hebrew, or Arabic characters. These characters are available in the pull-down menus but if you are not sure of your Greek (etc.), you can get help, using a missing template e.g. where the Greek characters should be, for an expert to fill in the gap.
