    I don't know how many of you are interested, but here are some ASCII codes you can use on a PC keyboard to create special symbols.

    You must first turn on Numloc, hold down the Alt key, and use the number pad on the right side of the keyboard. Give it a try.

    Turn on Numloc and use number pad



    ⅓ = alt 8531

    ¼ = alt 0188

    ½ = alt 0189

    ¾ = alt 0190

    ± = alt 0177 (plus or minus)

    ÷ = alt 0247 (divided by)

    ° = alt 0176 (degrees)

    » = alt 0187

    « = alt 174

    » = alt 175

    ¢ = alt 155 (cents)

    ¿ = alt 0191

    ñ = alt 0241

    ♥ = alt 3 hearts

    ♦ = alt 4 diamonds

    ♣ = alt 5 clubs

    ♠ = alt 6 spades

    ♪ = alt 13

    ♫ = alt 14

    → = alt 26

    ← = alt 27

    ↨ = Alt 23

    ↑ = alt 24

    ↓ = alt 25

    π = alt 227 (Pi)

    Ω - alt 234 Omega


    ▬ = Alt 22

    ◄► = Alt17 Alt 16

    .☼ =Alt 15

    ♂ = Alt 11

    ♀ =Alt 12

    I guess they've changed.
    PC alt codes were different when I was a CAD monkey.
    For instance I think alt 241 and 248 were common.
    Two finger codes and hot keys probably all different today.
    I threw away my old list. That stuff isn't any good to me these days.

    Don't know if they've changed, but different codes get the same symbol.

    For instance, Alt 0177 and Alt 241 both result in ±

    Alt 0176 and Alt 248 both get °

    Folks who are so inclined can study ASCII and the extended ASCII character set for months and still not know it all.

    If you want to see a list of essentially every character available, you can look here. If you go there, pay particular attention to the reference links at the bottom. They do a good job of getting you started with the problem of competing standards on different systems and in different parts of the world. It can get very confusing.

    And then there's Unicode... :)
