Have you ever wondered how to type special symbols, such as ©, ®, °, é, and more? Well, wonder no more! Here's a fast and easy way to insert special symbols into almost any document.
All keyboard characters (and special symbols) have a corresponding numeric code. The following pages show the correlation between characters and codes in a chart.
To insert a special symbol, reference the numeric code in the second column of the charts. Hold down the ALT key while typing in the numeric code on your keypad. The numeric code must be a four digit number, so if the code given in the chart is less than four digits, such as 169, then add enough zeros to the beginning of it to make it four digits. In the case of 169, it would be 0169. 42 would be 0042 and so on. So, to type the copyright symbol, simply hold down ALT + 0169, in a document.
