How to Type Symbols Using the ALT Key

 I came across these and thought they were really cool. I've often wondered how to do some of these, now I know! ;)     I will be announcing the winner for the MyMemories Suite v4 Giveaway tomorrow! I so excited and I know you are to!!      The ALT key can help you access alt codes, or characters that aren't readily available on a normal keyboard. These codes can be used to write in foreign languages, mathematical equations, or to add fun symbols to your messages. Below ☟ is how to do it on a PC then a list of symbols such as π, ♫ and ♥. Just hold the alt key down as you input the numbers.   Symbol Alt Codes Symbols With the ALT key plus numbers © Copyrighted [0169] ® Reserved mark [0174] ℠ Service mark [8480] ℃ Celsius [8451] ℅ Care of [8453] ℉ Fahrenheit [8457] № Number symbol [8470] ℗ Sound recording copyright [8471] ℞ Prescription/pharmaceutical symbol [8478] Ω Ohm [8486] ℧ Inverted ohm [8487] ☀ Sunshine [9728] ☁ Cloud [9729] ☂ Umbrella [9730] ☃ Snowman [9731] ☄ Comet [9732] ★ Star (solid) [9733] ☆ Star (outline) [9734] ☇ Lightning [9735] ☈ Thunderstorm [9736] ☉ Sun [9737] ☊ Ascending node [9738] ☋ Descending node [9739] ☌ Conjunction [9740] ☍ Opposition [9741] ☎ Phone (solid) [9742] ☏ Phone (outline) 9743] ☐ Checkbox [9744] ☑ Ballot box [9745] ☒ Ballot box with X [9746] ☓ Saltire (St. Andrew's Cross) [9747] ☚ Left-pointing index finger (solid) [9754] ☛ Right-pointing index finger (solid) [9755] ☜ Left-pointing index finger (outline) [9756] ☝ Upwards-pointing index finger (outline) [9757] ☞ Right-pointing index finger (outline) [9758] ☟ Downwards-pointing index finger (outline) [9759] ☠ Skull & crossbones [9760] ☡ Caution sign [9761] ☢ Radioactive sign [9762] ☣ Biohazard sign [9763] ☤ Caduceus or "Kerykeion" [9764] ☥ Ankh [9765] ☦ Eastern Christian cross [9766] ☧ Chi Rho cross [9767] ☨ Patriarchal cross [9768] ☩ Greek cross [9769] ☪ Crescent moon & star [9770] ☫ Farsi symbol [9771] ☬ Adi Shakti [9772] ☭ Hammer & sickle [9773] ☮ Peace sign [9774] ☯ Yin & yang [9775] ☰ Trigram Heaven [9776] ☱ Trigram Lake [9777] ☲ Trigram Fire [9778] ☳ Trigram Thunder [9779] ☴ Trigram Wind [9780] ☵ Trigram Water [9781] ☶ Trigram Mountain [9782] ☷ Trigram Earth [9783] ☸ Dharma wheel [9784] ☹ Frowning face [9785] ☺ Smiley face [9786] ☻ Black smiley face [9787] ☽ Waxing crescent moon [9789] ☾ Waning crescent moon [9790] ☿ Mercury [9791] ♀ Venus (female symbol) [9792] ♁ Earth symbol [9793] ♂ Mars (male symbol) [9794] ♃ Jupiter [9795] ♄ Saturn [9796]
