However StrongED has a number of pre-defined Character sets which probably cover everything most users will ever need.
Some of these sets can be called by a single Character. Most have Shorthands. Some are Named. You can therefore use any of the first four columns below in the Search expression. These should not be inside ' ' single quotes.
