We’ve compiled some of the most common special characters that you may want to use when typing for easy reference. Note that you must use the 10-key number keypad on your keyboard (not the numbers across the top) for these codes to work. If you don’t have that, you can copy/paste the symbols from this page.
If there are any common ones you use that are missing, let us know!
