This type of button is common in most WYSIWYG editors, and as far as I can tell, Canvas is the only LMS with an editor that lacks it. I think it's a real problem for foreign language courses not to have an 'insert special character' or 'insert symbol' button in the editor.

Please let the Community know if you have any questions about this. If you select é on the Character Map program, you'll see in the bottom right corner of that screen the keystroke command for that character: Hold down the ALT key and then press 0233 on your keyboard numberpad. For example, if you wanted to type the name José, you can type 'Jos' and then use this keyboard combination: Or, if you know the keystroke combination for a certain character, you can use that, too. Once you have the Character Map open, you find and select the Spanish character you want to use, and then copy/paste it in to Canvas. Open Command Prompt, type charmap and press Enter. Open Start Menu, choose All apps, expand Windows Accessories and hit Character Map. Type map in the search box on taskbar, and choose Character Map from the result.

If you are on a Windows machine, one of the simplest programs I like to use is the built-in 'Character Map' program that comes with the operating system. Let's see if we can find an answer for you. I am sorry to see that your question has been sitting here in the Canvas Community unanswered since August 23, 2018. Hello there, Thank You for posting your question.
