Accented characters in xp

[Joe macdonnagh]

I have a problem with displaying the 'í' character in in
any text editor under xp.I ensured that the keyboard and
the regional setting was right , English(irish)..
They are usually displayed by using a key combination of
Altgr and the ,a,e,i,o,u, to display á,é,í,ó,ú.
They work with the exception of the í.
I tried more than one editor , notepad, wordpad, word97,
and all have the same problem. Tried to reinstall the
service pack1 for xp ...no result. I wonder if anybody
else has come across this.
Thanks in advance.
Joe

Works ok for me using ALT+0237 - in Notepad and OE message

I have no problem with the ALT+0237, the problem is that
the touch typist is trained to use ALTGr key with
the 'i'character that gets converted to the accented
character í..(i myself am using NT at the moment;-)).
How is it that all the other character works but this one
character. Could it be that the problem is only in some
installs? ie in the particular hal layer.

There is a freeware program I use that is just terrific. It is "AllChars
for Windows" (http://allchars.zwolnet.com).

Accented characters are the least it can do and it does that simply:
Ctrl + the accent + letter
For example: Ctrl + ' + e produces é
or Ctrl + , + c produces ç etc.

But it does much more (macros). Works great under XP.

I'm a big Allchars fan too. But as I understand his message, it
won't help him with his problem. He can apparently enter these
characters correctly, he just can't get one of them (í) to
display in a text editor (although he does get it to display when
he posts here).

Have you tried with charmap.exe that you will find in C:\Windows\System32 ?
