symbols
Been looking around and everywhere it tells me to use \textbackslash in LaTeX.
However if I write a text "yadayadayada in \textbackslash c \textbackslash f we have…."
A demonstration or so would be highly apprectiated. Thanks for helping a noob.
Similar to Christian's answer, but siunitx will deal with the correct typesetting, be it text mode or math mode.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[
separate-uncertainty = true,
multi-part-units = repeat
]{siunitx}
\begin{document}
Math mode: $\SI{50 \pm 2}{\percent}$
Text mode: \SI{50 \pm 2}{\percent}
\end{document}
The following settings in the preamble
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{0451}{\"{e}}
will produce ё as composed character. Of course this can be also used to produce the umlautless version
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{0451}{e}

If you are trying to write verbatim short text, you can use
\verb+\hi+; for longer verbatim texts you can use theverbatimenvironment; for further customizable possibilities you can use, for example, the fancyvrb package.
