About
There are three ways to enter special characters in the Germanic lexicon search form:
- If your web browser allows you to type the special character directly into the web form, you can enter it that way.
- You can use one of the typing substitutions below, such as scho"n for schön (not available for all characters).
- You can enter the entity name, such as schön for schön.
Following are all of the special (non-ASCII) characters which are found in the Germanic lexicon and which can be entered in the search form:
