Diacritical characters are characters printed with special symbols above or below them.

To enter a diacritical character in a 5250 session

   The default keystroke for entering extended graphics mode is ALT+LEFT SHIFT.

2. Press a key to indicate the diacritical mark you want to insert:

   Key	Mark
