Wow, cool! Didn't know this.
But then again, I find out more and more every day that I don't know.
 
Never know what kind of nutty formulas you can come up with now. lol
 
Lost this thread but found it back! Hoping for some ☼ today. tmm
 
If you run charmap in Windows it comes up with a crapload of them for use.
Also in the bottom right you can see the keyboard command for each character.

Mac is different. Each key is a different symbol on it's own when you hold the alt key, you don't need to enter the string of numbers.

Example, the degree symbol is Alt-0 on a Mac: º

Here's the number & symbol keys across the top:
¡™£¢∞§¶•ªº–≠

And the rest of the letters:
œ∑´®†¥¨ˆøπ“‘«åß∂ƒ©˙∆˚¬…æΩ≈ç√∫˜µ≤≥÷

You can insert other characters similar to the way you do it in the Windows Character Map thing too, so you can get all the different symbols.
 
Don't let the justice brothers know there's a black smiley on here. All our computers will be racists.
 
35º

in my mack book air i used the alt button and hit zero for the degree sign..

¡ ™ £ ¢ ∞ § ¶ • ª º
 
œ∑´®†¥¨ˆøπåß∂ƒ©˙∆˚¬…æ
åß∂ƒ©˙∆˚¬…æΩ≈ç√∫˜≤≥÷``

no way i'll remember where that stuff it..lol
