Where have special characters gone?
-
Hi, this is my first time using the new block editor and I want to type a French word, but I can’t find the button to insert special characters. Can someone give me a clue please? (I’m on the basic free wordpress, in case that helps answer the question). TIA. Helen

Hi there, you may need to use the Classic Block to access them. https://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/
Let us know how that goes.

Hi, thanks for such a quick reply. That does seem to work. I guess the new block editor is going to take a bit of finding my way around. It doesn’t seem to allow centring of captions on images either, so is it best just to use classic block for all kinds of content, to most closely resemble the old way of editing? Thanks. H

Hi there, Caption position might be determined by your theme.
so is it best just to use classic block for all kinds of content, to most closely resemble the old way of editing?
It really depends on the type of content and what you want to do with it. https://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/#wordpress-editor
You can find a whole support section on the various types of blocks available at https://en.support.wordpress.com/category/writing-editing/blocks/
Hope that helps.
