Special Character Shortcuts
Desktop Designer includes several predefined control characters – select them from the dropdown menu in any dialog when text input is enabled. An arrow button on the right side of the edit field lists the shortcuts.
Example:
FNC1 character can simply be encoded as <FNC1>.
If a specific special character is not available on the list of shortcuts, see sections "Entering Characters with Alt+<ASCII_code>" and "Entering Characters with <#hex_code> Syntax".
