To insert a special character into a document

1.	Open Character Map
2.	In the Font list, type or select the font you want to use.
3.	Click the special character you want to insert into the document.
4.	Click Select, and then click Copy.
5.	Open your document and position the insertion point where you want the special character to appear.
6.	On the Edit menu, click Paste.

Note

•	To open Character Map, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Character Map.
•	You can also use a drag-and-drop operation to copy a special character into documents that support drag-and-drop functions. To do this, click the character you want to copy (it appears enlarged), and then drag the character into the open document.
•	If you know the Unicode equivalent of the character you want to insert, you can also insert a special character directly into a document without using Character Map. To do so, open the document and position the insertion point where you want the special character to appear. Then, with NUM LOCK on, hold down the ALT key while using the number pad keys to type the Unicode character value.
