Insert a Symbol or Special Character
Overview The user can use the Symbol dialog box to insert symbols, such as ¼ and, or special characters, such as an em dash (-) or ellipsis (&) that are not on the keyboard, as well as Unicode characters. The types of symbols and characters that one can insert depend on the font that one chooses. For example, some fonts may include fractions (¼), international characters (Ç, ë), and international monetary symbols (£, ¥). The built-in Symbol font includes arrows, bullets, and scientific symbols. One might also have additional symbol fonts, such as Wingdings, that include decorative symbols.
