A standard computer or laptop keyboard is a standard set of characters. But there are situations when you need to insert a sign, but it is not. In fact, there are hidden characters that can be printed by knowing certain key combinations.
How to type characters that are not on the keyboard in Word
Microsoft office word text editor is designed for creating and processing words. Its functionality is quite wide. The program has the ability to do many additional actions, including typing characters that are not on the keyboard.
To do this, you just need to find the "Insert" item in the top menu. Then, in the menu that opens, select the "Symbol" sub-item. A list of symbols that are considered the most common should open. If this list does not contain the symbol necessary for the user, then you should turn to the "Other symbols" button and already in the new dialog box you need to find the symbol of interest and, having selected it, press the "Insert" key.
How to type characters that are not on the keyboard in Notepad
Notepad does not support special character insertion. Therefore, here it is necessary to use the hidden capabilities of your computer. The same problem arises for those who want to enter a special character in any other text entry window. Be it any forum, chat or text message box on social networks.
In order to enter hidden characters on the keyboard, you will need to activate the side number pad. Typically, the primary number keys above letters are not suitable for entering hidden icons. Activation can be done in two ways. On some computers, you just need to press the NumLock key once (sometimes you can find its abbreviated name - NumLk). If this action did not lead to activation, then try using the NumLk + Fn key combination.
