How to type a section sign (§) into the Minecraft client





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

So in Minecraft, the section sign (§) can be useful to make colors in text and so on. However, I can't seem to type it. I've tried pasting the character in using Ctrl-V as well as middle mouse. I've even tried using xdotool type "§", but it just doesn't register, even though using xdotool type "foobar" will work. Is Minecraft perhaps just filtering out that character or something on Linux?

  • Find out the utf code for that character and use ctrl shift u shortcut. See askubuntu.com/a/364/295286

to type special characters in the terminal you need to use the compose key



To configure the compose key on Ubuntu, you need to install dconf and you can find the setting
in the package dconf/org/gnome/desktop/input-source/xkboptions




From Ubuntu 14.04




dconf → org → gnome → desktop → input-sources → xkboptions



e.g. to set the Alt Gr key as compose:




['compose:ralt']


Then you can use the compose key to type that special character.




By pressing Compose, some key, some key… in sequence, you can input characters. I have my compose key set to Menu; to type a © (copyright symbol), I would use Menu, o, c.



A full list of X compose key combinations can be found online (200 KiB), or locally in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose.




The character "§" is included in the below list 



XCOMM Other symbols

<Multi_key> <s> <o>                 : "§"   section # SECTION SIGN

<Multi_key> <o> <s>                 : "§"   section # SECTION SIGN

<Multi_key> <S> <O>             : "§"   section # SECTION SIGN

<Multi_key> <O> <S>             : "§"   section # SECTION SIGN

<Multi_key> <s> <exclam>        : "§"   section # SECTION SIGN

<Multi_key> <S> <exclam>        : "§"   section # SECTION SIGN

<Multi_key> <Cyrillic_pe> <Cyrillic_a>  : "§"   section # SECTION SIGN


The other option is typing the Unicode character as suggested from Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy.



The unicode character is available in this table

            How to label and detect the document text images

            Image
            1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
