WiFi-Interfaced Clinitek? Special Character Input.

Trying to get Cliniteks on Wi-Fi, but the WiFi passcode includes special characters (as passwords should).
The Clinitek on-screen keyboard lacks most special character inputs.
I have been unable to find another way to enter those characters. Tech support was unable to offer a solution.

Hoping someone here figured this out at some point...
Thanks!

Did you try to use the barcode scanner?

I tried code39 with my Brother label printer, but it was also missing special characters for barcode input. Not sure if the different barcode formats support different characters... and unsure which formats the Clinitek supports (other than code39). Or if the missing characters in the barcode label printer is a limitation of the device.

We wanted to go to Wifi, but ultimately had to install data jacks (we have 40+ Cliniteks!) because our password has special characters, as well. It was a huge bummer.
I wasn't involved in the investigation, so I cannot tell you if my institution tried scanning a barcode for the password. We use code128 for operator login so it's worth trying that.

Can you create a password from a word document and print it so that it is scanned? Clinitek will take whatever you scan.
