Hello all.
I'm surprised I don't know how to do this. I'm trying to log on to FaceBook from my BrailleNote apex device, but there's a problem. Apparently, the way I enter an accent mark is not correct, and my email address that I use has an accent mark. How do you do an accent mark in computer Braille on the apex?

depends on the accented character, unless you mean the grave accent by itself, which is just a dot 4 I believe.

That's what I thought. I put a dot 4 in and it was telling me they didn't have a match for that email address.

Hey guys, I have some good news! I figured out how to get it to my BrailleNote how to make a grave accent correctly, and it let me log in to FB this time. In order for it to work, you have to press space with dots 1 3 6, followed by dot 4. I'm not sure why you have to do that, but hey it worked. Ordinarily that's the command to uppercase letters when you are typing in Computer Braille.
