How to Type Special Characters

Windows provides a relatively easy way to type special characters:
  1. Press and hold the Alt key.
  2. Type the appropriate 4-digit numeric code (see list below) on the numeric keypad.
  3. Release the Alt key.
Note that the numbers must be typed on the numeric keypad.  It will not work if you use the row of number keys above the letter keys.
So for example, to type the symbol for the euro, press and hold the Alt key, type 0128 on the numeric keypad, then release the Alt key, and the euro symbol € will appear.
Some handy codes to remember:
  • bullet • 0149
  • copyright © 0169
  • dagger † 0134
  • dash — 0151
  • degrees ° 0176
  • ellipses … 0133
  • euro € 0128
  • paragraph ¶ 0182
  • plus or minus ± 0177
  • pounds £ 0163
  • registered trademark ® 0174
  • trademark ™ 0153
