How to Get Special Characters in Fonts
Adding special characters to your documents can help you to convey your message more effectively. Whether you need to add a copyright symbol, a foreign language character, or a mathematical symbol, you can easily do so with the help of Unicode values.
Using Unicode Values to Insert Special Characters
Unicode is a universal character encoding standard that assigns a unique number to every character. This makes it possible to display characters from different languages on the same page. Here’s how you can insert a special character by using the Unicode value:
- Step 1: In your document, position the insertion point where you want the special character to appear.
- Step 2: Press and hold down the ALT key while you type the four number Unicode value for the character.
Once you’ve typed the Unicode value, release the ALT key and the special character will appear in your document.
Finding the Unicode Value for a Special Character
If you’re not sure what the Unicode value is for a particular character, you can easily find it online. There are several websites that provide Unicode values for various characters. Simply search for the character you need and you’ll be able to find its Unicode value.
Conclusion
