Insert special character in PS CS4

[Alex_Co...@adobeforums.com]

Hi. How do you insert the accented "a" and the accented "i" in Photoshop CS4? I've searched on the web and found reference to special character codes. Where do you find a list of these Alt-code combinations listed? Thanks.

Run Character map (charmap.exe). You can copy and paste into PS or use the keystrokes.

Thanks, Geoff. That's exactly what I needed.

OK Alex, Character map has been in windows for many years but most people don't know it's there.

If you need accented characters on a regular basis you might want to set your keyboard to US International. This makes accents 'dead keys'.
If such dead key is followed by a vowel you get á, ë, ç, Ú etc... very easily.
