Inputting Esperanto text on computers

There are a number of methods to input Esperanto letters and text on a computer, e.g. when using a word processor or email. Input methods depend on a computer's operating system. Specifically the characters ĵ, ĝ, ĉ, ĥ, ŭ, ŝ can be problematic.

All modern email clients and servers accept Unicode text as UTF-8 in at least one of the following Content-Transfer-Encoding types: 8bit, quoted-printable, or base64. Esperanto text will normally be transmitted in UTF-8 with a Content-Transfer-Encoding of either 8bit (if the server supports it) or (failing that) quoted-printable.

An Esperanto locale would use a thin space as the thousands separator and a comma as the decimal separator as in 1 234 567,890. Time and date format among Esperantists is not standardized, but of course "internationally unambiguous" formats such as 2020-10-11 (or 11-okt-2020) are preferred when the date is not spelled out in full (e.g., "la 11-a de oktobro 2020").
