El Sitherino Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 alt+6666* *=add infinitum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk102 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hmm no that's not it I.S. Alt+0172 How did I figure that out? Start: Programs: Accessories: System Tools: Character Map Set the font to System Look for the symbol and highlight it. It says 0xAC. In decimal that it 172. Prepend a 0 to it and use it with the Alt key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lion54 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Alt+6666 got ¬ Alt+0172 got ¬ So either is fine. Most if the "Alt" charactors have more than one combo. You can always just check the Character map like tk102 said. =«þ "woof woof" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoffe Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Look for the symbol and highlight it. It says 0xAC. In decimal that it 172. Prepend a 0 to it and use it with the Alt key. Or you could just pick a TrueType font (Tahoma, Courier...) instead of the System font, and it will tell you the necessary key-combo in the lower right corner of that window in plain text when you select the character.

TheOssusKeeper Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 nope, doesn't work for me... *sigh* i guess i'll just stick with the 'ol search, copy and paste method... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 nope, doesn't work for me... Did you use the numeric keypad to the right, and not the number keys underneath the F# keys? I think you must use the numeric keypad for it to work. Make sure Num Lock is active. Also use Alt and not Alt Gr, and hold it down while you type all four numbers (0172), then release it. ¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I failed to mention that one needs to use the number pad typically found on the right side of they keyboard and that the num lock needs to be on in order for the ALT+xxxx key combination to work. It doesn't work if you use the numbers at the top of the keyboard. Thanks for clearing that up stoffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
