Would someone please help me with this iPhone question?

Asked by gimmedat (3951points) December 31st, 2008 from iPhone

My brother just bought an iPhone and cannot check his email because his password doesn’t have this dash – , it has the higher dash. Does anyone know how to get the higher dash on the iPhone?

The only things I know of are a – and a under scroll _

I don’t know of a higher one and neither does his iphone but both of those mentioned above are on there

It has everything a keyboard has, as far as I can see. If by ‘higher dash,’ you mean the one above – on a notebook keyboard, then that is actually _ which is located on the iPhone keyboard after you push “123” then ”#+=” and it’s under [

“Higher dash?”

The answer to the question you put in the question box is: yes, someone can help you with an iphone question.

People need to learn how to use the boxes.

Probably the easiest thing is for him to change his password. I don’t think the iPhone keyboard can produce the character you’re thinking of.

The iPhone keyboard has all characters:
~ ` _ – – — \ | /

@Mangus, thanks for the obvious. I wasn’t inquiring as to ability (can) I was inquiring as to willingness (would).

@Everyone else, I had no idea what my brother was talking about, either, but I know there are iPhone Flutherers who know way more about the iPhone than I do (and apparently about using boxes correctly).

@netxm you have to force it to check under your email settings

You need to “think outside the box” and the answer will appear in the form of a text message on your iphone. sorry (runs and hides)

I wonder if by “higher dash” you mean an n-dash (option-hyphen on the Mac) or em-dash (shift-option-hyphen on the Mac.) If so, these extended characters cannot be entered on the iPhone. Change the password.
