PC’s – Make sure your number lock is on. Press and hold the alt key and using the numeric pad type in the numerical sequence, then release and the character will appear.
**If you do not have a numeric pad you will need to use the function (fn) plus the alt key and then the numbers on your keyboard (small numbers below the letters on your qwerty keyboard)
Mac – Use the option key in place of the alt key.

Very useful information to have handy by your computer. Thanks so much for this. I will pass it on to my friends .Lots of these I did not know about
Great list of symbols, they will come in very useful
These are good to have a list of if you need them. Keep this list handy all the time . Gotta print a copy out to have with me. Thanks
Don’t forget, folks, that these only work for Windows. Users of other operating systems have easier methods to achieve this.
These are not “Alt” codes, they are ASCII (American Standard Codes for Information Interchange).
Thanks for sharing this, You won’t believe how much easier you just made it 4 me.
Thanks for sharing this!
Good and great article for change text styles …
Hi Miranda. This is quite a list. I’m going to tuck it away for further reference. Thanks for the compilation.
All the best,
Leslie
