No, special Characters are not functioning. I use Arabic a lot and in it I often need to use special characters, but it does not work. I figured out a tedious way around this problem. I use touch typing, so I first find the character I want. When I lift up my finger it gets typed. Then I double tap and hold on this character. This gives me the list of special characters associated with it, so I choose the one I want. After that I make sure that the rotor is on Characters then I swipe up once, This takes me back one character. Then I touch the delete key to delete the letter I typed first which I now do not need. Then I swipe once down to put me back at the place where I want to continue typing and I proceed from there. It is a tedious way around, but can deal with it for the time being. Cheers, Cris
