I was writing and then all of a sudden I pressed something I shouldn't have and I heard the bookport say eighth. like the fraction one eighth but it just said the word eighth! And it looked like a character like it was one of the extended ascii characters. But the thing is I have no idea how I entered that character into the notetaker! Can someone tell me how I did it? Also, can other upper-ascii or foreign characters such as a acute be entered into the notetaker? Josh he should try out the animal before he bought him. He took the could.
