An apostrophe is a superscript comma, which is used in writing both in Russian (mainly for writing foreign proper names) and in most foreign languages of the Latin group. To enter this character, use a special key on the standard keyboard, as well as the character table of the Windows operating system or Microsoft Office.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to enter a superscript comma is to press the key with the quotation marks at the top and the apostrophe at the bottom, which is just to the left of the Enter key. In the Cyrillic keyboard layout, pressing this key will display the letter "E". But what if this particular key turned out to be broken and it is not possible to enter an apostrophe using the keyboard?
Step 2
If you are working in any of the Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, etc.), go to the "Insert" tab and click the "Symbol" button. By default, it is located on the right side of the most recent toolbar. Select the Superscript and Subscript section to narrow your search to hundreds of characters. Find the apostrophe and click the Insert button. A superscript comma appears in the text.
Step 3
Similarly, you can add an apostrophe to a text entry field in any Windows application (browser, image processing program, mail application, etc.). To do this, if your computer is running Windows 7, open the Start menu and type table in the search box to quickly find the Symbol Map system application. For users of earlier versions of Windows, this utility will have to be searched for by sequentially opening the following sections in the "Start" menu: "All Programs", "Accessories", "System Tools".
Step 4
In the application's Symbol Table dialog box, the superscript comma symbol can be found in the first line of the list of items - this will be the seventh icon in a row. Another option is to enter the word Apostrophe in the Search box in the same dialog box. The program will automatically give you the symbol you want.
