Hi, David:
We add diacritics and other symbols on the fly via keyboard "alt" codes (Alt
+ four digits) and have had no problem with titles/names appearing correctly
both on screen and via CR XI reports. Maybe I'm missing something, but this
seems to work?

Subject: TMS diacritics question

Hello all,

I am looking for information on how others using TMS are entering diacritics
and/or other alphabets into  TMS fields such as object title and
bibliography title/ name.

I know there are a few Unicode fields available in TMS, but they deal with
object context and the constituent name, therefore not useful.

I'm looking for solutions that don't require converting the fields to
Unicode in the SQL db.

Thanks for your help,
