Character Map in 7

In Windows 7, you can just type Character map into Start search and click on the Character Map link. You’ll be presented with a screen that has lots of different symbols. When you click (and hold) a symbol, it gives you an enlarged preview of it. To actually select the symbol:-

1. Click the symbol you want. 2. Click the Select button, then the Copy button.

This will copy your symbol onto the clipboard where you can then paste it into any word processing program, email, etc.

However, if you have Word, click the Insert menu and select Symbol. You will be given a “customized” screen that can automatically insert a symbol directly into your current document.

If you find yourself using a particular symbol all the time, take a close look at the lower right-hand corner of the window. There on the status bar, the keystroke combination is displayed to generate the current character. Now, all you have to do is remember that keystroke combination and use it whenever.

Note:- When typing the numbers, ensure that you use the keypad on the right-hand side of your keyboard, not the ones above your letter keys. Some word processors give you direct access to the character map. In Word for example.
