<concept id="GUID-D1F4B2DC-5B18-4454-BFD7-8BB61D80E7CA" xml:lang="en"><title>Special
character table</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>Special character table consists of symbols other than alphanumeric letters
such as punctuation marks, currency symbols.</p>
<p>The special character table works with touch down and release. Special
character table is opened by:<ul>
<li><p>short pressing <i>* §key_star_key§</i> key in virtual ITU-T.</p></li>
<li><p>pressing the dedicated special character table button in handwriting
recognition.</p></li>
<li><p>pressing the dedicated special character table button in smiley picker.</p></li>
</ul>Special character table does not have title or traditional softkeys.</p>
<p>Orientation of special character table follows the orientation of the input
method. For example, if the special character table is opened from the full
screen QWERTY, the orientation is landscape. If the table is opened from smaller
QWERTY which is in portrait, the orientation of the table should also be portrait.
There is no focus in the grid but if evoked with hardware key event, focus
is brought to the first item of the most recently used character row. </p>
<p>The first row in the special character table consists of the Close button
and can consist of the Smiley picker button. Smiley picker button can be hidden
if needed by the application. The second row in the special character table
displays most recently used characters. In portrait mode, the row consists
of five items and in landscape, seven items. If characters cannot fit to one
page, a page navigator is opened. Through this page navigator, user can change
the page by tapping on the navigation arrows. Navigating arrows are looping
so that user can access from the last page to the first page and vice versa. </p>
<p>Special character table can be closed only by pressing the Close button.
When the special character table is in landscape, the page navigator is moved
to the top row next to the Close button. The amount of most recently used
characters is increased by two items so that the table fills the entire display.</p>
