Special Characters

In general, Quartet searches letters and numbers with the ability to also search some special characters.

Text searching will work with some non-English alphabets such as Hangul, Kanji, and Cyrillic alphabets. The same search commands and operators used for English searching apply when searching with non-English alphabets.

Greek letters

Greek letters may be searched by symbol (β) and by spelled out name (beta), as the system uses them interchangeably.

Examples:

ta='π/2'

ab='α beta unsaturated'

ta=("α" and "β")

Symbols

%	Percent
‰	Permille
‱	Permyriad
°	Degree
<	Less than
>	Greater than

Less than “<” and greater than “>” can be shown in the system as “lt” and “gt” respectively

Non-Latin Language Inputs

Quartet can further accept input in non-Latin languages.

Examples:

pa=オンソンフル

pa=ほんだ

pa=本田

pa=혼다
