If you're asking *how* to make the special characters, just do it somewhere else and cut&Paste when asked for a pagename.

HOWEVER, care should be exercised in using special characters in titles, as sometimes they can cause problems. I'm sure I saw this on a Wikia or Mediawiki help page, but read wikipedia:Wikipedia:Page_name. (plus sections around it)

So making pagenames with *alternative formatting*, while using the correct format in the Article Body is a common, often required, practice. Thus instead of "Public Enemy #1" you'd have to make it "Public Enemy Number One" and notate the difference in the opening lines of the Lead. Also consider that visitors may not know how to make special-characters when searching for it.

Hope that helps.
