How to enter Unicode Character in FrameMaker 10?
There is a Windows input method to 'type' Unicode characters, using the numeric pad to type the unicode hex number. Steps required: 1. You'll need to enable the Windows 'hex numpad' option. As there's no user interface option for this [AFAIK], you'll need to modify the Windows registry: 1a. Click Start > Run and launch the registry editor: RegEdit.exe 1b. Navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method] 1c. Locate the key named "EnableHexNumpad". If there isn't one, use the right mouse menu to create a new string value with the type REG_SZ 1d. Double-click the EnableHexNumpad key to give it a value of 1 1e. Close RegEdit. 2. Reboot. Because it's Windows. 3. Log back in, and then you can then start inserting Unicode characters - if you know their hex code. For example: Hold down your Left-Alt key, and then on the numeric pad: press + press 2 press 1 press 9 press 2 and then release the Alt key. You will how have a right-arrow. Hex a to f is done using your main keyboard. NOTE: I'm not certain if this still works in Windows 7, but knowing Microsoft they'll still support it in the same way that you can't have specific file names, such as: con.doc ; prn.txt ; aux.html etc. still! By reading the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#In_Microsoft_Windows ... I discovered that Microsoft have a 'RichEdit' mode in some applications, which will allow a user to type a number, followed by Alt+x - but it appears that Adobe / FrameMaker do not support that.

RE: How to enter Unicode Character in FrameMaker 10?
There is a Windows input method to 'type' Unicode characters, using the numeric pad to type the unicode hex number. Steps required: 1. You'll need to enable the Windows 'hex numpad' option. As there's no user interface option for this [AFAIK], you'll need to modify the Windows registry: 1a. Click Start > Run and launch the registry editor: RegEdit.exe 1b. Navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method] 1c. Locate the key named "EnableHexNumpad". If there isn't one, use the right mouse menu to create a new string value with the type REG_SZ 1d. Double-click the EnableHexNumpad key to give it a value of 1 1e. Close RegEdit. 2. Reboot. Because it's Windows. 3. Log back in, and then you can then start inserting Unicode characters - if you know their hex code. For example: Hold down your Left-Alt key, and then on the numeric pad: press + press 2 press 1 press 9 press 2 and then release the Alt key. You will how have a right-arrow. Hex a to f is done using your main keyboard. NOTE: I'm not certain if this still works in Windows 7, but knowing Microsoft they'll still support it in the same way that you can't have specific file names, such as: con.doc ; prn.txt ; aux.html etc. still! By reading the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#In_Microsoft_Windows ... I discovered that Microsoft have a 'RichEdit' mode in some applications, which will allow a user to type a number, followed by Alt+x - but it appears that Adobe / FrameMaker do not support that.
