In windows how you can insert special characters? In this post I will show two different ways to insert special character on windows operating system.
Method 1: Using Character Map:
---------------------------------------------
1. If Character Map is not installed, you must install Character Map. To install character map
•Click Start> point to Settings> click Control Panel> click Add/Remove Programs.
•Click the Windows Setup tab.
•Click System Tools (click the words only, not the check box), and then click Details.
•Click to select the Character Map check box, click OK, and then click OK.
Your character map will be installed.
2. By default character map is installed on your system. Run the character map.
You can run it by any of the following ways,
•Double click on browsing C\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\charmap.exe
•In command prompt or in run box write charmap and press enter.
•Click Start> Programs >Accessories> System Tools> and then click Character Map.
3. After starting character map click font box, and select the font you want to use.
4. Click the special character that you want to insert, click Select, and then click select Copy.
5. Now go to the document or place where you insert this character.
6. On the Edit menu, click Paste if you have a document. You can also press ctrl+v from your keyboard. You can also copy characters by dragging them from Character Map directly into an open document.
Method 2: Using Unicode Value
---------------------------------------------
1. Move the cursor to the point where you want to put the special character.
2. Press and hold down the ALT key while you type the four number Unicode value for the character.
For example press and hold ALT key and then press 401. You will find special character text.
To determine what the Unicode value is for a particular character use the following method,
1 Start Character Map which is discussed in this post.
2. In the Font box, click the font you want to use.
3. Click the special character that you want to use. The Unicode number that corresponds to the character you select appears in the lower right corner of the window.
