I’m not sure how many of the other suggested key strokes in this series for non-US-ASCII characters are valid on any other than US keyboard layouts. Apple has done a great job of internationalisation, but it means that keystroke combinations are not universal. Aaaarghh – it was not obvious, but text enclosed here in angle brackets < > disappear.
