º ¢ woot !

*Ü*
yeah!!! |
º ¢ ☺¿ ¬½¼¡«»»▒▓┤╡╢╖╕╣║╗╝╜╛┐
lol!!!! |
I just have to try this: º, ¢
It does work but like someone else said, I have to use the numbers at the right end of the keyboard. Not the ones at the top. Thanks. |
Thank you I never knew that
|
Thanks
|
Learned something today. Knew the ° but never had the ¢ Ha ha.

Another symbol is the cents '¢' symbol. Simply press down the 'Alt' button with one hand, punch in the numbers 155, release the 'Alt' button and like magic the cent '¢' symbol will appear. No, you need to use the numbers pad at the right of your keyboard, not the ones up above. I hope this helps someone, it is just a little knowledge and timesaver. |

Thanks for sharing all the information!

I didn't know that! Thanks for the info.

¡§¶ ¡∞∞ This does not work on a mac. must be different characters. thanks anyway. :lol:
|
On my MacBook, I hold down the option key and press zero for degree and for the cents symbol - hold down the option key and press the dollar sign (number 4). º¢¢º

Doesn't work on a Norwegian/foreign keyboard...
|
º¢ Looks like mine only works on the keypad. Thanks so much for sharing- I always knew there was lots more to know about this computer- but I don't know what to ask!!
|
OK - now I need some help --- when I tried this my screen went to totally full and all my stuff on the top has disappeared (I can't get out of this screen the normal way). HELP! HELP! HELP! How can I turn it back to the way it was???
|
YES! º ¢ Thank-you! Now I can show my hubby something he doesn't know.I think.....
|
sooo cool
|
º ¢ Thanks! I always wondered how to do that :)
|
Wow!!! I am so glad for this information. Makes my recipe file go a lot easier. Thanks so much!!

Thanks Diane - I never thought to share this info on this site ----this website has several ALT characters. Someone sent this to me. Have fun! |
Thanks for sharing information. I knew a few of these but never could find the page with a list of them on.
|
Mornin'. Thank you for those symbols. I knew how to do the degree one but not the ¢ sign. Somewhere on the internet there is a whole page of the. I printed it off years ago, and will see if I can find it later today.
Thanks again. |
Thanks. I always assumed there was a way to do it, but I bought my computer when I was 0ver 70 and have to figure things out without the basic concepts. Being 79 is challange enough!!!
|
º ¢ Thank you!!!
|
Thanks for pointing out the MacBook's codes. I also tried it with
<shift><option>number and got some different codes. I then tired it (<option> and <shift><option>) with the alphabetical keys and got more. |

For all of us Mac users, it's a little different: hold down the "Option" key while hitting the 4 (the $ sign, get it??) for cents, and the 0 for degrees. It's very intuitive, so I just guessed.
|
º ¢ Thanks for sharing, learn something every day. I just do the same things on my computer all the time, nice to pick up a few pointers!
|
The scale that I use is found here: http://www.asciitable.com/ I have XP and they work for me, so I printed it out for easy reference. Will also print out information from the other sites.

The secret is remembering the code.

Sorry but it doesn't work for me.
|
Thanks! I didn't know that but always wished I could do it.
|
that was cool but it did not work on my computer. Why?
|
Weird. It doesn't work on the regular keyboard but if I jump to the other side and use the number pad it works fine.
Always wondered how to make the ¢ sign. Thanks a bunch. |
