2200.0. ""Squared" character in a label" by TOWNS::RUFFIEUX () Mon Feb 05 1990 10:49

    Does anybody know how I can add the  "squared" character into a label.
    
    I wish to print out a label like so 'MAG 2' but with a small 2 and
    also in a raised position.  Any ideas would be appreciated..

    There are two ways: from the keyboard, or from an editor.
        
    First, you must find out how the Compose Character function is
    implemented on your keyboard.  Then, after entering that function,
    type the uparrow character (^) and the 2 or 2 then ^.
    
    or
    
    Use your favorite editor to create the character with the decimal
    value 178.

2200.2Compose Function???TOWNS::RUFFIEUXMon Feb 05 1990 14:259

    	I've searched, but to no avail, I cannot find any documentation
    on the "Compose Key".  If it is not too much to ask, can someone
    write me on how to enter the compose function....
    
    
    
    Thanks..

    Nevermind, I figured it out:
    
    (<Compose><space>) ^ 2 gives you �

    	If you are using DECterm in DECwindows environment then you can do
    	the following key strokes to get the �.
    
    	Press the 'Compose' key and do not release it.
    	Now press the 'space bar' and let go the space bar.
    	Now let go the 'Compose' key.
    
    	You are in Compose mode.
    	Now press '2' key 
    	Press the ^ key. 
    
    	NOTE: 'Compose' key might have a lable "ALT"
