How to make symbols with keyboard

[navycop]

I got this sent to me on my facebook page. How to Type Symbols Using the ALT Key (with Mac and PC Lists). There are a few others I found. ALT-15 ☼, ALT-21 §. ALT-23 ‼, ALT-28 ∟.

Also under system tools (windows XP) there is a program called character map. If you click on a character, it will tell you the alt code (if there is one). You can also just cut & paste the character.

Here's 1 I use a lot. Alt 0162 = ¢ I use it when I want to put in my 2¢ :wink:

If you use a Mac, just click on Edit and scroll down to Special Characters or press Option/Command/T. No more using * for ° as in 85°.

Here are some that I uses frequently
Alt + 241 ±
Alt + 242 ≥
Alt + 243 ≤
Alt + 246 ÷
Alt + 247 ≈
Alt + 248 °

This is another good list ASCII characters, codes, symbols and signs

under system tools in most of the windows versions as I have 7/64 bit pro and I have the character map in the tray at the bottom of the screen. where it is always handy.
alt+0174 ®
alt+0169 ©
alt+0190 ¾
alt+0189 ½
alt+0188 ¼
are some of the good ones
