[libreoffice-users] Entering special characters in a form in Base

Hello

I have created a simple database in Base to catalogue my books and as they
are in a number of languages some of the titles and authors' names contain
characters with diacritics. I had hoped that I could enter these as special
characters as I could in a Writer document but the "special character" item
under "insert" in the form view is faded out, i.e. is not active. Is there
something I am missing here that would make this item active?

I solved my problem by installing the relevant keyboard layouts but that is
not so convenient.

My system is Libreoffice 7.5 under Windows 11 and the same applies in
LibreOffice 7.4 under LInuxMint 20.3.
