Keyboard Differences

Not all characters on the U.S. keyboard appear on other keyboards. Similarly, other keyboards often contain many characters not visible on the U.S. keyboard.

However, on SPARC machines, the Compose key can be used to produce any character in the ISO Latin-1 codeset on any keyboard that supports it.

The Compose key can be used with English or European locales, but not with Korean, Chinese, or Japanese locales, except the UTF-8 locales.
