Entering Symbols and Diacritics
If entering label data in a foreign language, a faster way than using the diacritic codes below is to enable the United States-International Keyboard.
This Microsoft support page tells you how (see 'change keyboard layout' and 'add a keyboard') and for more information about the symbols you can create using this keyboard, see this page).
