Hit F11 at the top of your keyboard.
That happened to me also. Thanks for letting us know how to get out of that.

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.
Nothing happens when i push down the Alt key
Try engaging "NUM LOCK" then using the keypad.

It worked that time! It will only work using the number keypad. Thanks.
