Engel, Jr. @ 2021-09-08 1:44 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 9fans [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1135 bytes --] Seems rather unlikely considering that UTF-8 was originally invented for Plan 9? Turns out it is the same as anywhere else in Plan 9 - tap ALT (not hold) then the letter x then the hex code for the rune you are trying to enter and a semicolon (if fewer than 6 hexadecimal nybbles). Example: ALT x 2 1 d 4 ; There are shorter versions for some characters - see the man page keyboard (6) for details On 9/7/21 10:24 AM, revcomninos@gmail.com wrote: > I was under the impression you could only use ASCII. > *9fans <https://9fans.topicbox.com/latest>* / 9fans / see discussions > <https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans> + participants > <https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/members> + delivery options > <https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription> Permalink > <https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T0d54d4b593281935-Med338a73860dc960cac21090> > ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T0d54d4b593281935-M4479c3e7548c22fab86cfc0d Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1713 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

The paper has not been updated for the Plan 9 manuals. Although Sam has not changed much since the paper was written, the system around it certainly has. Nonetheless, the description here still stands as the best introduction to the editor." (You're not the only one to miss things like this, I do it all the time.) ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T0d54d4b593281935-Meaf19165d007ceda21623d19 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
