Why do we need your contact details? *

If anything you submit eventually gets used on this site, we would like to credit you as the source thereof.
Should we have questions, or need more information, we would like to be able to contact you, now or in future.
We will not share your details with anyone beyond what is necessary for the purposes noted above.
You will not receive any mail from us, beyond that which directly pertains to the feedback you give above.
So, letting us have your email address here cannot have any effect on the amount of junk emails you receive.

To display accented letters, click signs or other special characters

Hold down the Alt key and type the corresponding numbers and/or letters that appear in the table below.
Example: 'U+00E4' means: type the letter 'U', then a plus sign, then the number zero, again the number zero, then the letter 'E', then the number four, and only then release the Alt key that you have been holding down all along.
Tip: This is easier if you use the numbers keypad on your keyboard - check that NumLock is activated.

NaBiD uses UTF-8 character encoding, and any valid Unicode character code should work, even those that are not included above. However, not all fonts include glyphs that correspond to all Unicode characters, so if your browser is set up to override our fonts you may see some question marks or empty squares above. NaBiD has been tested with widely available generic sans serif font families, specifically Arial and Helvitica. Contact the webmaster if you have need of additional characters that are not currently being displayed above.
