Windows Tips: Enter special symbols|characters by using keyboard

It is awesome if you can type various special characters or symbols such as ♡, ®, ♣ etc, by using your keyboard to impress other people in forum, blogger, facebook etc. It may be an everyone's secret unless you willing to discover it yourself. This post will show how to using your keyboard to type several popular special characters or symbols to impress your friends.

The procedure to display ♡ is shown below:

1. Enter "& # 9 8 2 5 ; "

2. Delete all the spaces between each characters.

3. reply your message.

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Next,

Repeat the same procedure but with "& # 9 8 2 9 ; " then you will get ♥.

Is it amazing?? (Actually you can just enter "& # 9 8 2 5 ; "  without any space)

Nothing special but the HTML Number Code in western european “standard” keyboard (showing the latin alphabet). In other words, there are some other characters which might not see on the keyboard but can be generated by using specified code. For example a US keyboard will not show accented letters as used in French. A French keyboard will show accented letters common in French, but not accented letters used in Spanish.

Some other useful code are listed out below:

Smile ☺

is & # 9 7 8 6 ;

Music ♪

is & # 9 8 3 4 ;

Copyright ©

is "& # 1 6 9;"

Registered trademark ®

is "& # 1 7 4;"

black club suit ♣

is "& # 9 8 2 7 ;"

black heart suit ♥

is "& # 9 8 2 9 ;"

black diamond suit ♦

is "& # 9 8 3 0 ;"

Last but not least, you can just enter the code without any space between them then you will get those special characters or symbols directly. So, what is the different between character and symbol. As your information, technical people call them "character" due to the programming literature and non-technical people call them symbols. Symbol is more general term then character. Character is symbol but a symbol may not be a character necessary.

However, it may not work if HTML function is disable. Therefore, an alternative way to avoid this problem is using Alt key with specific code number. All you need to do is press the Alt key and hold it down, then type in the specific code number accordingly.

Good luck and have a nice day^^
