+Special Characters ::#::%::symbol::
+############################################################
+
+The following characters play a special role in LaTeX and are
+called "special printing characters", or simply
+"special characters".
+
+ # $ % & ~ _ ^ \ { }
+
+Whenever you put one of these special characters into your
+file, you are doing something special. If you simply want
+the character to be printed just as any other letter, include
+a \ in front of the character. For example, \$ will produce
+$ in your output.
+
+One exception to this rule is the \ itself because \\ has its
+own special meaning. A \ is produced by typing $\backslash$
+in your file.
+Also, \~ means `place a tilde accent over the following letter',
+so you will probably want to use \verb instead.
+
+In addition, you can access any character of a font once you
+know its number by using the \symbol command. For example,
+the character used for displaying spaces in the \verb*
+command has the code decimal 32, so it can be typed as
+\symbol{32}.
+
+You can also specify octal numbers with ' or hexadecimal
+numbers with ", so the previous example could also be written
+ as \symbol{'40} or \symbol{"20}.
