Spicing up your blog and comments with special characters, part 2

I'm so used to doing ALT character codes without thinking about them that I didn't realize that some of the codes that I used in my original post were actually four-digit ALT codes rather than three-digit ALT codes.

So being the nice guy that I am, following is the list of four-digit ALT codes, which is where the © and ® symbols appear.

For those of you who left comments in my original post claiming that your laptop computer doesn't have a number keypad, well, look again. I've never seen a laptop computer without a numeric keypad, but it doesn't look like your typical numeric keypad, and you have to know how to access it.

Here's the numeric keypad on one of my laptop computers:

See the blue numbers on the 7, 8, 9, U, I, O, J, K, L, and M keys? That's your numeric keypad. Here is how to make your numeric keypad work. Look for the blue function in the following picture, lower left. It's abbreviated Fn:

Press the function key and all those keys with the blue letters and symbols on them should work. Some computers force you to hold the function key down while hitting the other keys, some use the function key as a toggle key.

My next post will show you how to get billions of special symbols, limited only by the fonts on your computer.
