==International versions== Like the [[Apple IIe]] before it, the Apple IIc keyboard differs depending on what region of the world it was sold in. Sometimes the differences are very minor, such as extra local language characters and symbols printed on certain keycaps (e.g. French accented characters on the Canadian IIc such as "Γ ", "Γ©", "Γ§", etc., or the British Pound "Β£" symbol on the UK IIc) while other times the layout and shape of keys greatly differ (e.g. European IIcs).<ref>{{Cite book |url=http://archive.org/details/AppleIIcTechnicalReference2ndEd|title=Apple IIc Technical Reference Manual, 2nd Edition |date=January 1, 1989 |publisher=Apple Computer |page=478 }}</ref> In order to access the local character set, the "Keyboard" switch above the keyboard is depressed, which switches text video from the US character set to the local set. The DVORAK keyboard layout is not available on international IIcs—the feature is intended to switch between international keyboards, and the DVORAK layout is the alternate keyboard on US IIcs. In some countries these localized IIcs also support 50 Hz PAL video and the different 220/240-volt power of that region by means of a different external power supply for the internal 12-volt power converter. The international versions replace any English legends printed on the case (specifically the "keyboard" toggle switch, "Power" and "Disk Use" drive-activity labels) with graphical icons.
