Make sure translation (in the General CDev, I think) is set to standard. If not
special characters will be disabled.

If it still doesn't work, AWGS might not support this (badly written?). Then
you can use an NDA like keyfind to locate the character you want, copy it to
the clipboard and paste it into the file.
