special characters in text strings

[com]

I'm developing a wordlist database and I am manipulating characters. I want
to be able to substitute characters in strings. I have no problem doing the
code, but when building a query, I cannot get access to recognize characters
such as c+circumflex and g+circumflex, oe ligature etc. If I paste the
character into the query it is replaced with a question mark.

How can I get these characters to display?

One alternative is to use the Unicode Character Set of the Character map
provided by Windows to copy and paste the appropriate characters into the
query window. This is located under the Accessories folder (and the System
subfolder, at least on my machine).

The oe ligature can also be obtained by typing Alt 0156 (holding down the
Alt key and entering those four numbers). For the c and g circumflex, you
can simply copy and paste them into the query window.

Thanks for your speedy reply.
I tried alt 0156 and it went nicely into the query, but the representation
in the table is now a capital S
I've tried cutting and pasting the c and g with circumflex and it simply
displays as a question mark. Any other suggestions?
