I can type a copyright symbol on my keyboard? I am after a 'c' but with the circle around it.


Cheers.

Alt+0169
Question Author

Thanks for your speedy response WoWo but could I have that explained a bit moe.......... I am a man lol


Hold down the Alt key and type 0169 using the Number Keypad on the right of your keyboard.

When you then release the Alt key a � appears.

N.B. ensure your Num Lock is on!

type (c) and it will change automatically

I have found in Word and Excel you can get this by typing a letter c inside brackets like so (c)


It then converts it to a copyright symbol.


I found this by accident.

You could also try Character Map (Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools).


Select a font, then copy and paste the character you want. It's more long-winded than the other suggestions, but it does let you select a different font, and also it lets you use other characters, like � and ۩ and �, if you needed those.

Many thanks folks but none of them work for me :-( The best I can get is a plain c when I hit the numerical 0 with the alt key not held down. If I type (c) it comes as typed....................... !

Will give JerryB's suggestion a go, cheers.

JerryB wins the coconut � :-)

You have to hold down the Alt key while typing 0169 - do not release the Alt key until after you have typed the 9 (all on the Numeric keyboard with Num Lock on). When you release the Alt key the � symbol will appear.

I did that GeofF and it didn't!?
PhilBy, you can get all kinds of symbols on MS Word ( I hope that's the softare you're using?). Open MS Word, go to -->insert-->then select 'symbol'---->in subset(top right hand corner) look for "letterlike symbols" and you'll see the (c) symbol.

You can create your own shortcut key(ie- ALT +c) to access it anytime on your own keyboard.

Hope this helped?
