Unicode characters for cataloging

Special characters such as symbols, accented letters, and superscripts, are entered differently depending on whether you're using the OCLC Connexion Client or a web-based interface like TIND.

Connexion Client

In the Connexion Client, you can use use OCLC keyboard shortcuts, or the client graphical chart (Edit > Enter Diacritics, or click the "Enter Diacritics" button, or press Ctrl+e). See Insert diacritics and characters in records for details.

Other interfaces
