Re: [SLE] easy way to enter this symbol:￥


This symbol (￥) is very important to me, it means Chinese money,
RMB or CNY. I use it everyday on OOCalc. How do I enter this
symbol?

The old way is to keep it in tomboy (a memo application) and copy
& paste it to OOCalc when I need it.

Windows (Chinese version) has a special feature to enter this
symbol easily.

Other symbols I don't know how to enter in Linux are:
1. 、
2. 《》

These symbols are very frequently used Chinese punctuations. They are
all available in Windows as 'software keyboard' that when enabled, each
key is replaced by a Chinese punctuation. Thanks to this interesting
feature, currently no Chinese keyboard actually implement these
punctuations as separate key.

P.S. I tried to look for them in char-map but is not able to find them
easily. The way I keep using is google-for-it-and-copy&paste.

P.S. Use UTF-8 charset if you cannot see my example punctuations
correctly. If your font doesn't include these punctuations, try use GNU
Unifont or check the screenshot I made and attached to this email.

Well on my British layout keyboard, I have the following:
Shift + Alt Gr + Y = ¥ (165)
Alt Gr + Z = « (171)
Alt Gr + X = » (187)

On a regular US, with compose enabled:

<Compose> + "=" + "Y" = ¥ (probably not the same as ￥)
<Compose> + "<" + "<" = « (definitely not the same as 《 )
And the other is Compose>>.

I can't find the other one [、 (12289)], but it is possibly there somewhere.
Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that they will be on the same keys for
your layout.

I do not know offhand if SCIM behaves the same way as MS-IME for
puncutation, that is, creating 。 and 、 (when in Japanese).
