Creating Symbols Using Keyboard ♥∞☼.

Activerain community is a wonderful place to share and learn from.

Today I am sharing a little trick I recently learned about which is creating symbols by using the computers keyboard.

Yes you too can make symbols with your keyboard by using the keyboards right side numeric keypad.

Here are a few fun symbols you can make.

Here is How.

Look Up your Alt Code (click here)

Steps.

Go to your keyboards right side numeric keypad and activate your “NumLock” button.

Press “Alt” button ~ press down and hold, try the left one, if does not work, try right one.

Holding “Alt” down press in number code 1 through 255. Alt Code list. Using the right numeric keypad. Sometimes you will have to type in 0169 instead of 169 to get the proper symbol ©.

Release “Alt” button when done, image should appear.

David, I may need to print a portion of this and keep it by the keyboard as I forget so often. Now what were we talking about?
