Does this work for anyone?

I found it on Yahoo but can not make the symbols like it says.

This should work in any Windows word processor, text editor, browser or email client.

1. Make sure your keyboard is in NumLock mode.
2. Hold down the ALT key and enter the number on the numeric keypad. (Note that many laptops have a blue FN key that changes a set of keys, also with blue numbers on them and usually in the 7-8-9-U-I-O area, into a numeric keypad.)

Sorry hon, I use a Macbook these days!! A fella on another forum posted a site that explains the majority of Ascii-derived symbols, e.g. Alt + "4-digits" makes specific symbols etc.

This is it. Don't know if it'll help, hope it does!

Teddy,

I also got it to work on my laptop...much like what jseal said...

turn NUMLK on, then hold down Fn and Alt keys at the same time and type the numbers you provided using the numeric pad, then after the Fn and Alt keys are released, the symbol is displayed.

Thanks for providing the info.

I just have the character map pinned to my taskbar
