Some folks here have been interested in learning how to do some of the special key characters.

First thing you must do is make sure that number lock is on and that you use the numeric keypad for any of the numbers involved in the generation of the characters using the alt key. For example:

alt+1=☺ alt+3=♥
alt+2=☻ alt+4=♦
alt+5=♣ alt+6=♠

There are also combinations of numbers that you may use. Simply hold down the alt key, insert all the numbers then release the alt key, like this:

alt+10=◙ alt+11=♂
alt+12=♀ alt+13=♪
alt+14=♫ alt+21=§

You may also use 3 or even four digits to create a character like this:

alt+145=æ alt+146=Æ
alt+0174=® alt+0169=©

There are alot of different combination that you can come up with to get a character, so play around,throw some numbers together, and see if you can come up with something you like! Have fun!
