How Do I Type Certain Symbols?

[nickknutson]

I was just wondering how people type the trademark symbol...the R with a circle around it. Or an umlout over vowels in german? I just want to be able to type symbols as well. I hope I'm making sense.

Thanks in advance.

Either memorize the alt+numberpad commands or copy-paste them from your word processing program's symbol list. I don't know the "registered" symbol but I do know how to do the umlaut vowels in German. Alt+153, for example, is a capital O with umlauts: Ö.

do you use windows? if so, go to start - run... then type in charmap. all the characters you need!

® = hold down alt + 0174 (numpad)

Only one I know is ALT+0176, which is the degree ° symbol.

Woah, I never knew that and I am supposed to know a thing or two about computers.

Thanks!
