Windows Keystrokes For Symbols

If you like keyboard shortcuts and use special characters, here are a few more for Microsoft Windows. Use your numeric keypad with your NUM LOCK on and you will be good to go!

After you double-click a character on the grid of characters, you can move through the grid by using the keyboard shortcuts: Right Arrow (Move to the right or to the beginning of the next line) Left Arrow (Move to the left or to the end of the previous line) Up Arrow (Move up one row) Down Arrow (Move down one row). Windows 10 tip: Access symbols, emojis, and other special characters. Entering special characters, including foreign currency symbols, fractions, and emoji, is a cumbersome task on most physical.
