<div>I am having trouble getting Unicode characters displaying in
Transcriber on a Mac. I have followed Matthew's instructions, changed
the text encoding to UTF-8, changed the font to Gentium, but still
can't insert the characters.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I have a defined keyboard layout using Ukelele which works with
other applications.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>When I try inserting the Unicode character into the .trs file and
opening it in Transcriber it generates an error.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Has anyone figured out how to do this?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

Thanks to Rachel Cross, I stand corrected. Non-roman characters can be
inputed in Transcriber by attributing shortcuts to certain
keystrokes.</font></blockquote>

this solution is not ideal, as I have to recreate my Keyboard layout
with keystrokes, and the shortcut coding is not as flexible as
Keyman because Keyman allows dummy keys.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Doug Marmion
suggested I also test ELAN. I downloaded it and found that it DOES
accept my Keyman keyboard, so I could be using that with my normal
method of character entry. For now I'll stick with Transcriber until
my understanding of ELAN catches up.</font></blockquote>
