Enter passwords
You can see each character of a password only as you enter it, so be
careful. Be sure Caps Lock is off unless you need it. For information on
how to enter characters, see Enter uppercase letters and Enter symbols
and alternate characters.
Symbols and accented characters
TIP The symbols and accented characters are grouped according to their
similarity to the corresponding key. For example, to enter an é, tap and hold e.
For the number keys, the symbols are related to either the number or the symbol
shown on the key. For example, to type a € or other currency symbol, tap and
hold the 4 key. Why? Because the symbol on the 4 key is $.
TIP Not all keys contain alternate characters or symbols. When you tap and
hold a key, you see ... at the bottom of most keys. The ... means that alternate
characters/symbols are available for those keys. If a key does not display ..., it
does not have any alternate characters or symbols. Likewise, the keys on the
symbol keyboard do not contain alternate characters or symbols.
