Handling special cases in the Java?

Thanks in advance.

Those are letters. I think the easiest way to use them is to change the language of the keyboard on your PC. Which editor are you using? The command prompt on DOS/Windows doesn't support all those characters and may print something peculiar instead.

I am using eclipse for my development .

Thanks.

If you are using Windows, press Windows + R and then enter: charmap

That will start the character map application, in which you can pick letters and other characters that are not on your keyboard by hand and copy & paste them into your editor.

Excellent suggestion Jesper! Just an additional comment if you don't want to manually copu/paste characters most of them have a shortcut associated. charmap will show it in bottom right (if applicable Alt + ...). You just hold down Alt and type the number like Alt + 0212 then release Alt and Presto! Please be sure to select the correct font as well (to match the editor font in Eclipse) as character mappings may be different

Thanks guys .....

As i am using linux can anyone suggest shortcuts for this ...

Thanks in advance...

I have just áddéd à ©häraÇter palette. Click the letter or caret to change the options, then ctrl-V to paste the letter.

But I still think it might be easier to change your keyboard language; I have mine set to German and English (UK) and it occasionally changes spontaneously and this sort of character appears mzsteriouslzÖ öäüß.
