Using the Special Character Set

After you select your desired language, a new item (CHARACTER) is added to the
TI-84 Plus CE CATALOG. This item accesses special characters and accent marks used in the language that you chose for localization. You can use these special characters and accent marks for display messages and text strings that you want to store to a variable. You cannot, however, use them in variable names.
