Have you ever ran across some work task that requires you to input certain characters and symbols into your writing? Yeah, that’s quite a place to be in. You can agonise and get infuriated with how hard it can be to input a simple character into your work. Well, fear no more. We have got you covered. What follows is a complete list of Alt codes and symbols.
For PC users, you need to make sure that your number lock is on. Press and hold the alt key while you type using the numeric pad in the numerical sequence. Once you release the key, the corresponding character will appear. For those who have to use Fn key for typing the buttons, you will have to hold alt and Fn both while typing in the number.
For Mac users, simply use the option key instead of the alt key.
