How insert special character or symbol into documents

Sometimes we need to add special text character [for example, a copyright mark © or trademark ™] on our documents or somewhere else, but we did not find these characters on our keyboard. Windows XP and Vista let you have the opportunity to use Character Map utility to insert such characters and symbol anywhere you want.

Character Map Utility Displays all characters available for each font on our PC. To launch the Character Map follow as below:

XP: Go to Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Character Map.


Vista:.1. Click Start and type char in the Search field
...........2. Click Character Map

You will find different characters and foreign languages when you scroll down. By the pull down menu you can specify the font you want to use. Double-click the character(s) you want to insert. Click the Copy to place the character(s) on your Clipboard.

Open your documents or the place you want the character(s). In the Edit menu, select Paste or press [Ctrl+V] to paste the character(s) from the Clipboard into there.
