Combinations

One of the steps that lead to this project, as detailed in Development, is the search for a reference document, showing how characters on a typewriter can be combined, to produce characters that are otherwise missing.

It would be amiss for me to document this project, without creating, and aiming to maintain such a list.

Divided into rough categories, I will list a name, show the relevant unicode character, and show the typed combination and the components that constitute it.

Please note, unless an interesting specific use is found, characters with a strike or bar, are omitted. These are simple to construct, combining a forward slash, minus sign, or equals sign with your character, for example:

I will, however, give particular mention to the use of the apostrophe and quote keys, which may be used to create accented letters.
