Did
you know you can easily produce the copyright
symbol © using your keyboard? Other
symbols you can produce that are not readily available on the keyboard are ® the TradeMark symbol and £ the
Pound Sign.
In
order to make these symbols you must use the numeric keypad located on the
right side of the keyboard.
The numbers on the top row of your keyboard
will NOT work.
First,
activate the numeric keypad by
pressing the "NUM LOCK"
key.
Next
enter the sequence of numbers while
holding the Alt key down.
You MUST enter the beginning zero
along with the other numbers in the sequence.
Below
are a few common symbols that are not found on the regular keyboard along with directions
to make them using the numeric key pad.
Hold
the Alt key down while entering the numbers.
Alt+number = Symbol
Alt + 0169 = ©
Alt + 0174 = ®
Alt + 0163 = £
Alt + 0191 = ¿
Alt + 0153 =
™
Alt + 0174 = ®
Alt + 0162 =¢
Alt + 36 = $
What are
your thoughts on keyboard symbols? Do you have a favorite symbol? What is it?
How do you make it? Please share in the comments section. We’d love to hear all
about it.
Thanks for the info. It would be much easier then opening the Symbols box, finding the correct one, and the copying and pasting it where I want it to go.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial. It's nice to learn something new and useful about keyboard symbols.
ReplyDeleteWhen you run into a comment box that requires input but you don't want to comment, alt + 255. It's a blank character. It can also be used as a space where spaces aren't allowed.
ReplyDeleteI used to use an emdash quite often in my blogs. The New Blogger doesn't take the code -- yet! -- so I currently use two normal dashes.
ReplyDeleteAlt codes are a must! You can also use them for the special characters of foreign languages that also use the Roman alphabet, such as ñ, ä, é, and so forth. A necessity if you want to write foreign words correctly.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteGood info! I never knew this. Have a lovely and joyous day.
ReplyDeleteWhat great information - thanks! I never knew about all these codes. I will probably use the ¢ Love it!
