输入特殊字符

You can enter and view thousands of characters from most of the world’s writing systems, even those not found on your keyboard. This page lists some different ways you can enter special characters.

Characters

The character map application allows you to find and insert unusual characters, including emoji, by browsing character categories or searching for keywords.

You can launch Characters from the desktop.

Emoji

Insert emoji

  1. Press Ctrl+;.

  2. Browse the categories at the bottom of the dialog or start typing a description in the search field.

  3. Select an emoji to insert.

Compose 键

Compose 键是一种特殊按键，可以按多个键序列得到一个特殊字符，例如，要输入重音符号 é，您可以按住 compose 然后再按 ' 和 e 键。

Keyboards don’t have specific compose keys. Instead, you can define one of the existing keys on your keyboard as a compose key.

定义一个 compose 键

  1. Open the desktop and start typing Settings.

  2. Click on Settings.

  3. Click Keyboard in the sidebar to open the panel.

  4. In the Type Special Characters section, click Compose Key.

  5. Turn the switch on for the Compose Key.

  6. Tick the checkbox of the key that you want to set as the Compose key.

  7. Close the dialog.

您可以用 compose 键输入多种字符，例如：

  • 按住 compose 键，然后按 ' 键，可以输入重音符号，像 é。

  • 按住 compose 键，然后按 ` (反引号)键，可以输入抑音符号，像 è。

  • 按住 compose 键，然后按 " ，可以输入变音符号，像 ë。

  • 按住 compose 键，然后按 - ，可以输入长音符号，像 ē。

For more compose key sequences, see the compose key page on Wikipedia.

代码点

You can enter any Unicode character using only your keyboard with the numeric code point of the character. Every character is identified by a four-character code point. To find the code point for a character, look it up in the Characters application. The code point is the four characters after U+.

To enter a character by its code point, press Ctrl+Shift+U, then type the four-character code and press Space or Enter. If you often use characters that you can’t easily access with other methods, you might find it useful to memorize the code point for those characters so you can enter them quickly.

键盘布局

您可以让键盘变成其他语言布局，而不是原来键盘上标识的字母了，您甚至可以使用顶部面板上的一个图标，轻松地在不同语言之间切换，详细介绍请参阅 使用另一个键盘布局。

输入法

An Input Method expands the previous methods by allowing to enter characters not only with keyboard but also any input devices. For instance you could enter characters with a mouse using a gesture method, or enter Japanese characters using a Latin keyboard.

要选择一个输入法，在输入控件上点击右键，在输入法菜单中选择一种需要的输入法。尚没有完全成为事实标准的统一的输入法，请参考输入法的文档查看如何使用。
