'''Digraphs''' are two-character sequences used to enter single characters that cannot be entered from the computer keyboard, due to AGS scripting restrictions, or teh characters woudl look out of place. For example, with AGS using SCI fonts, you cannot use characters >127. However, many characters in the ASCII table are not used in many adventure games: "%^&$@", etc. So, if you need accented characters you can edit the font so such characters look like the ones you need.
