anyone know how to use ordinary keyboards to produce special symbols?  email this discussion to a friend?

I've found a few (by trial & error, on the little number's square), but if there's any website that shows all the possibilities, I'd really like to bookmark it!

I'm especially interested in the number which allows one to "line through" anything one has typed, in order to express visually that there was an error made, & the other one I'd love to have is the number which produces a Christian cross.

Whatever else I get would be gravy, although the ability to make a tilde over an N would be nice to have when I use Spanish, or umlauts when I use German!

So, does anyone know? Please share! And T.I.A.!

Do you mean special Alt Characters?
like:
† = Alt(Hold) then press 0134 on the numpad keys
ñ = Alt 164
Ñ = Alt 165

Just search Special ALT characters on the net....

YES! Exactly that! So, is there such a website I could access to find out other symbols? THANK you for giving me the ones I most want (except for the line-through code, which I used to know, but haven't had for ages, so I've forgotten it)!

You're a jewel! Thank you!! thumbup

Thanks vhinzstrife for the link that was really handy. I actually had trouble before looking for the ñ but now you have said it i think ill keep that in mind since we usually encounter names here in out place with ñ.
