Since the Pocket PC uses Unicode characters and Fonts, you automatically have hundreds of special characters available for your use even though they are not shown on your input keyboard. Character Map allows you to easily find and use them in any Pocket PC application. Simply choose and copy them to the clipboard, then paste them into your application. Though not required, if you are using NanoPad (the SIMPLY BETTER input method) it also shows you the Alt key character to enter directly in NanoPad or to assign to a Function Key Macro)
