Formatting hints:
For the data entry, you will have to use Roman letters using the ISO norm 8859-1 . This means that you will dispose of a restricted amount of characters only. Please refer to the following exhaustive list:

!	"					'	(	)	*		,	-	.		0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	:	;	<		>	?
A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z	[		]
a	b	c	d	e	f	g	h	i	j	k	l	m	n	o	p	q	r	s	t	u	v	w	x	y	z	{		}
À	Á	Â	Ã	Ä	Å	Æ	Ç	È	É	Ê	Ë	Ì	Í	Î	Ï	Ð	Ñ	Ò	Ó	Ô	Õ	Ö	Ø	Ù	Ú	Û	Ü	Ý	Þ	ß
à	á	â	ã	ä	å	æ	ç	è	é	ê	ë	ì	í	î	ï	ð	ñ	ò	ó	ô	õ	ö	ø	ù	ú	û	ü	ý	þ

All characters as listed above form part of the ISO norm and can be entered as such using your keyboard.
All other characters will have to be transcribed or encoded according to the following rules:

---

• Transcription of Eastern European and Non-European names and titles (including Cyrillic):
1. Diacritic marks have to be entered separately after the characters they pertain to:

Name	Symbol		Name	Symbol
Acute	/		Grave	\
Tilde	~		Diaeresis (Trema)	+
Macron	=		Circumflex (Caret)	^
Hacek (Caron)	$		Dot below	%
Slash	|		Dot/half circle above	@
Cedilla	`		Nasal hook (Ogonek)	&
Macron below	_		Half circle below	#

2. If you want to use one of these marks as such (not as diacritics), a space has to be entered before them.
3. Cyrillic characters that have no unique Roman equivalent must be transcribed using the following combinations:

Name	Symbol		Name	Symbol
zhe	z$		ZHE	s$
che	c$		CHE	C$
sha	s$		SHA	S$
shcha	s$c$		SHCHA	S$C$
Hard sign	"		Soft sign	'
Inverted e	e%		Inverted E	E%
ju	ju		JU	Ju
ja	ja		JA	Ja

Kuryl|owicz, Mes$c$aninov, R%gveda, 
S/atapathabra=hman%a, Ka=t%haka-Sam%hita=

2. Characters without diacritics have to be substituted by the following Roman letters:

Majuscules	Name	Minuscules		Majuscules	Name	Minuscules
A	alpha	a		B	beta	b
G	gamma	g		D	delta	d
E	epsilon	e		V	digamma	v
Z	zeta	z		H	eta	h
Q	theta	q		I	iota	i
K	kappa	k		L	lambda	l
M	mu	m		N	nu	n
C	xi	c		O	omicron	o
P	pi	p		R	rho	r
S	sigma	s			sigma (final)	j
T	tau	t		U	upsilon	u
F	phi	f		X	chi	x
Y	psi	y		W	omega	w

3. Greek diacritics have to be entered after the characters they belong to, using the following symbols (in the given order):

Name	Symbol		Name	Symbol
Smooth breathing	)		Rough breathing	(
Acute	/		Grave	\

Name	Symbol		Name	Symbol
Schwa (inverted e)	e%		ng-ligature	n^

3. Diacritics have to be entered after the characters they belong to, using the following symbols (in the given order):

Name	Symbol		Name	Symbol
Acute	/		Grave	\
Tilde	~		Diaeresis (Trema)	+
Macron	=		Circumflex (Caret)	^
Hacek	$		Dot below	%
