You can enter most characters in a MARC record with your keyboard. However, some special characters do not appear on the keyboard. These characters include diacritical marks that show how to pronounce a letter, such as “é” or “ñ.” Horizon lets you enter special characters, including diacritics, into MARC records.
Depending on the font used for the application that displays MARC records, some special characters might not display properly. (For instructions on changing your font, see Changing Font Options.)
