  <title>Inserire caratteri speciali</title>

  <p>You can enter and view thousands of characters from most of the world’s
  writing systems, even those not found on your keyboard. This page lists
  some different ways you can enter special characters.</p>

  <section id="characters">
    <title>Characters</title>
    <p>The character map application allows you to find and insert unusual
    characters, including emoji, by browsing character categories or searching
    for keywords.</p>

    <p>You can launch <app>Characters</app> from the Activities overview.</p>

  </section>

  <section id="emoji">
    <title>Emoji</title>
    <steps>
      <title>Insert emoji</title>
      <item>
        <p>Press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>;</key></keyseq>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Browse the categories at the bottom of the dialog or start typing a
    description in the search field.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Select an emoji to insert.</p>
      </item>
    </steps>
  </section>

  <section id="compose">
    <title>Tasto Compose</title>
    <p>Un tasto compose (o di composizione) è un tasto speciale che consente di premere diversi tasti uno dopo l'altro per ottenere un carattere speciale. Per esempio, per digitare la lettera accentata <em>é</em>, è possibile premere <key>compose</key> quindi <key>'</key> e poi <key>e</key>.</p>
    <p>Keyboards don’t have specific compose keys. Instead, you can define
    one of the existing keys on your keyboard as a compose key.</p>

    <steps>
      <title>Definire un tasto compose</title>
      <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> 
      overview and start typing <gui>Settings</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Click on <gui>Settings</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Click <gui>Keyboard</gui> in the sidebar to open the panel.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>In the <gui>Type Special Characters</gui> section, click <gui>Compose Key</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Turn the switch on for the <gui>Compose Key</gui>.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Tick the checkbox of the key that you want to set as the Compose
        key.</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Close the dialog.</p>
      </item>
    </steps>

    <p>È possibile digitare molti caratteri comuni usando il tasto compose, per esempio:</p>

    <list>
      <item><p>Premere <key>compose</key> quindi <key>'</key> e poi una lettera per porre un accento acuto sulla lettera, come <em>é</em>.</p></item>
      <item><p>Premere <key>compose</key> quindi <key>`</key> e poi una lettera per porre un accento grave sulla lettera, come <em>è</em>.</p></item>
      <item><p>Premere <key>compose</key> quindi <key>"</key> e poi una lettera per porre un umlaut sulla lettera, come <em>ë</em>.</p></item>
      <item><p>Premere <key>compose</key> quindi <key>-</key> e poi una lettera per porre un macron (sengo di vocale lunga) sulla lettera, come <em>ē</em>.</p></item>
    </list>
    <p>For more compose key sequences, see <link href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key#Common_compose_combinations">the
    compose key page on Wikipedia</link>.</p>

<section id="ctrlshiftu">
  <title>Code point</title>

  <p>You can enter any Unicode character using only your keyboard with the
  numeric code point of the character. Every character is identified by a
  four-character code point. To find the code point for a character, look it up
  in the <app>Characters</app> application. The code point is the four characters
  after <gui>U+</gui>.</p>

  <p>To enter a character by its code point, press
  <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Shift</key><key>U</key></keyseq>, then type the
  four-character code and press <key>Space</key> or <key>Enter</key>. If you often
  use characters that you can’t easily access with other methods, you might find
  it useful to memorize the code point for those characters so you can enter
  them quickly.</p>

  <section id="layout">
    <title>Disposizioni di tastiera</title>
    <p>È possibile fare in modo che la propria tastiera si comporti come quella impostata per un'altra lingua, indifferentemente dalle lettere indicate sui tasti. È anche possibile passare in modo semplice da una disposizione a un'altra usando una icona bella barra superiore. Per maggiori informazioni, consultare <link xref="keyboard-layouts"/>.</p>
  </section>

<section id="im">
  <title>Metodi di input</title>

  <p>An Input Method expands the previous methods by allowing to enter
  characters not only with keyboard but also any input devices. For instance
  you could enter characters with a mouse using a gesture method, or enter
  Japanese characters using a Latin keyboard.</p>

  <p>Per scegliere un metodo di input, fare clic col pulsante destro del mouse in un'area di testo, scegliere <gui>Metodi di input</gui> e quindi il metodo da utilizzare. Non esiste un metodo di input predefinito nel sistema, per maggiori informazioni sull'utilizzo di uno di questi metodi consultare l'apposita documentazione.</p>
