Hi Csaba,
In older versions of Microsoft Word, one got these characters in lists
on pages in the Insert: Special Symbols, dialogue. It can also be
accessed via insert, Styles. ANSI is a 'native' code used in windows,
before the widespread adoption of Unicode. JAWS may also read ANSI
characters, via the verbosity dialogues. (It can be made to echo at
various levels or be silent.) Besides ANSI, there is the older ASCII.
ANSI is got by use of the righthand number pad, with the numlock on; and
then the (left) alt key pressed with a leading 0 + (usually)three digits
from the said keypad.
There is a WikiHow, at:
http://www.wikihow.com/Type-Symbols-Using-the-ALT-Key
and another site:
http://www.theworldofstuff.com/characters/
gives such characters.

Hi Flor,
Could you tell me where can I find the ANSI character codes?
Ath the moment your idea from yesterday seems to be the best solution
for me to let speak some currently in RTF editors silent characters.
Later I have to modify the the JAWS scripts which are running when I
force JAWS to read. It seems that the cahracter-muteness problem
exists in all RTF-based text editor controls in Windows.
Thanks in advance for your help!

if you mean the speaking of a symbol that doesn't speak, you input it
(I
would type its ANSI value) by adding it into the desired JAWS
Dictionary
File, and then tab to the Replace With and type in your desired word,
and OK by saving your change.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Why are some symbols silent in RTF files?
Hi all,
I have noticed something interesting in the near past working on my
new Hungarian SBL file. Some symbols recorded in this file are
silent
when I enter them in an RTF-based text editor as Word or WordPad.
For
example the signs of £ (english pound) and ¥ (japan yen). Why? What
can I do to make them loud? I use JAWS 11 on Windows Vista.
I tried the both versions of entries like "levelable" (symbol N
method) and the "ever-reading" one ("U+0000=" method).
Regards,
Csaba
