iPhone Basics: Typing Special Characters

Michael Johnston · April 22nd, 2009, 01:31 AM

Everyone knows that iPhone's keyboard comes with a full set of QWERTY keys, numbers, and punctuation, but you may not have realized that there's even more. Hidden underneath many of the keys are special character variations. To bring up a special character, simply tap and hold for a moment and select from the pop-up menu. For example, if you'd like to type café, simply type caf, hold E, and choose É from the menu.

There are tons of other special characters hidden behind both alphabetical keys and punctuation keys. Check 'em out!

This is not a trick!
You should tell me the real trick. How can I make this popup to appear immediately. It is pain in the ... to type in Hungarian language and wait for this popup in every 3rd or 5th character!!

HELP! How can I set my keyboard, to be fast?!
