| Example: Backspace (Shift-space) | ⇧· |
Cyber1 has some characters that draw on the previous character. These could be printed as either: how they look, or how they’re typed. The above entry shows how they could be shown as typed. They could also be shown as below. A problem with the below method is that on Cyber1 an umlaut can be placed over any character, but I could only find the following umlauted characters in Unicode. The same holds true for Cyber1’s circumflex and tilde (and maybe others I have forgotten about).
