Useful Symbols

If you want any of the following hold down you Alt key whilst keying in the numbers below

0188 =¼
0189 =½
0190 =¾
0176 =°
0169 =©

Print them off and stick them on your screen and if anyone knows how to get 7/8s, please let me know.

  1. I use a mac and as far as I know these unicodes dont work for mac keyboards but you can achieve the same result by going into word - insert - object - microsoft equation and build the fractional number or other equation there. Which is ok but no good if you want to use it in a comment like this!

  2. Try these for fractional eighths

    1/8 - alt 8539
    3/8 - alt 8540
    5/8 - alt 8541
    7/8 - alt 8542
