Notes for entering characters:

The “¥” symbol is displayed as “\” when the ASCII key is used. The “]” symbol is treated as a character by the ASCII key, but it is not interpreted as a character by the HEX key. In HEX, the “]” symbol is displayed in red and setting is denied.

You can not set all the characters with the “]” symbol. It will be considered as no operation. ASCII key characters : Space - 0 to 9 A to Z a to z ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , . / : ; < = > ? @ [ ¥ ] ^ _ ` { } ~ HEX key characters : 0 to 9 a to f
