Character keys
Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a
typewriter, except that:
❖ The space bar creates a space character instead of just passing
over an area of the page.
❖ The lowercase letter l (el) and the number 1 are not
interchangeable.
❖ The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not
interchangeable.
