    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.

    I hope this helps someone, it is just a little knowledge and timesaver.
    º ¢ How cool is that?!!!

    ☺ = Alt 1
    ☻ = Alt 2
    etc....

    Geez... didn't think some of it was working for me before...I was using the "Ctrl" button instead of the "Alt"!

    I used to code book manuscripts to get them ready to be paged. I worked on a MAC and knew most of the codes as easily as I could type. I used pages & pages of code for college science & math textbooks (one of the reasons those books are so expensive). Now a few years have gone by, I no longer work in the publishing industry because most of those jobs have gone to India, and I use a PC. Thanks for reminding me where they are on this computer.
