characters that are not on the keyboard

Some characters that are not in the image on the keyboard button. These can be symbols such as: double arrows “and”, degree sign °, copyright symbol and others.

In order to type characters on the keyboard that are missing, you can use different methods.

The simplest of which is to use the MS Word text editor or Excel spreadsheet from the Office suite.

To do this, just enter it and select the Insert tab

and then either leave it as is, or copy it to another program.

Second way- this is to use a special utility in Windows called symbol table and you can find it:

Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools

and then at the very end of the list

A window like this will appear, containing all the characters from the various fonts installed on the system:

After you select the desired symbol from the table (by clicking LMB on it) (1), you need to click on the button Choose(2) and it will appear below in the “To copy:” field (3), then press the button Copy(4) and the desired symbol will be saved in the clipboard, for later pasting it wherever you need.

Small addition.

In order not to search for a specific type of symbols, you can create a grouping.

For example, I want only "Symbols and Signs" to be displayed.

1) Check the box "Advanced options"

2) Character set - Unicode

3) Grouping - Unicode Ranges

4) A window will appear with a choice of Grouping, in which we select “Symbols and icons”

Now there are only symbols and icons in the table. Of course, if you want not symbols, but arrows, mathematical operators, punctuation, etc. - then put exactly this filter in the grouping.

The third way is for the lazy.

The fact is that in Windows there are special keys for quickly inserting these same characters, for example:

only these hotkeys are not used for every icon, but for some.

Alt+0167 § paragraph Alt+0176 ° degree
Alt+0169 copyright sign Alt+0137 ppm sign
Alt+0153 trademark sign Alt+0177 ± plus or minus
Alt+0215 × multiplication sign ?????Alt+0247 ÷ division sign
Alt+0126 ~ tilde Alt+0136 euro sign
Alt+0174 ® Registered Alt+0167 § paragraph
Alt+0171 « open quotes Alt+0187 » closed quotes

An important note here: in order to insert a character that is not on the keyboard, you need to hold down the key Alt and then press the 4 digits after the plus sign on number pad keyboards. Of course, you must have Num Lock enabled for this block to work.

Also, if it doesn’t work, then try with the English keyboard layout.

Of course, this is not the entire list, this is just for reference.

Especially for visitors to my site, I have selected a small list that includes not only the symbols presented above, but also many others. And for convenience, I made it in a simple Notepad and archived it.

Well, for the really lazy, a small selection - just copy and paste.

Attention! You do not have permission to view hidden text.


Hello!

Have you ever wondered how much time you sometimes have to spend on ordinary operations: select something with the mouse, copy it, then paste it into another window (file). Imagine if you work with dozens of files per day? Those who use some hot key combinations in Windows significantly speed up their work!

You may not believe me - but pressing a couple of buttons on the keyboard is much faster than performing the same action with a mouse (for example, to select and copy everything - on the keyboard it takes 1-2 seconds (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C), with the mouse you can scroll through the file for 30 seconds...) !

In this article I will give the most necessary and useful keyboard shortcuts for a variety of tasks.

Note: It is recommended to start small - first remember 3-4 combinations for the most repetitive tasks: copying, pasting, selecting, etc. Then gradually expand the range, and you can increase the speed of your work by an order of magnitude.

The buttons and their combinations are relevant for all versions of Windows and software running in them (at least for Windows 7/8/10 - everything works, it has been checked several times).

By the way, using the Win+R button combinations you can open various tabs and applications, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the list of all commands:

Table No. 1: for working with text (for moving through the text)

Working with text is perhaps almost the most important thing for most computer users. This means that these digs will always be useful! By the way, it’s worth saying that many of the combinations presented below are also used in Explorer, and simply in Windows: for example, to copy a section of text, you need to press Ctrl+C, copy the file - the same Ctrl+C .

Keys Action
Ctrl+A Selecting all the text on the page
Ctrl+C Copy selected text
Ctrl+X Cutting a selected piece of text (i.e. copying a section of text and deleting it in this place).
Ctrl+V Pasting previously copied (cut) text.
Ctrl+← Moves the cursor to the beginning of the previous word.
Ctrl+→ Moves the cursor to the beginning of the next word.
Ctrl+ Moves the cursor to the beginning of the previous paragraph.
Ctrl+↓ Moves the cursor to the beginning of the next paragraph.
Hold Shift+→ Select text forward character by character.
Hold Shift+← Selection of text back character by character.
Ctrl+⇑ Shift+→ Selects text from the cursor position to the beginning of the next word.
Ctrl+⇑ Shift+← Selects text from the cursor position to the beginning of the previous word.
⇑ Shift+Home Selects text from the cursor position to the beginning of the line.
⇑ Shift+End Selects text from the cursor position to the end of the line.
Alt (left)+Shift Switching input language (from Russian to English and vice versa).
Ctrl (left)+⇑ Shift Changing the reading direction of text for languages ​​written from right to left.

Table No. 2: for entering special characters

Not all the symbols (which you would sometimes like to type) are on the keyboard. For example, how to type a heart, an arrow, or, say, the sum sign Σ? There is a special one for this. tables and codes that can and should be used.

How to use the table below:

  1. find the symbol you need, select it and copy. Then place the cursor where you would like to add a symbol and paste it (note: Ctrl+C - copy selected text, Ctrl+V - paste copied text);
  2. Another option is to simply use the alt code, for example, opposite the heart is the code “Alt 3”. This means that you need to hold down the Alt button and then press the “3” button.

To be continued...

This is where I end this article, good luck to everyone!

Let's imagine a trivial situation: you need to enter a special character into some text, but there is no key on the keyboard with such a character.

What should I do?

If you are working in a text editor , then there are no problems:

– select menu Insert -> Symbol...;

– in the dialog box that opens Symbol select the desired symbol;

– press the key Insert(you can insert by double-clicking the left button on the selected symbol).

And if you work in a “non-advanced” text editor, for example, in Notepad(by the way, the program Notebook It is very convenient to use as a notepad - for current notes and notes. Since it “weighs” less than Word, then it loads faster and works in it faster)?

What should I do?

There is a way out, and it is always at hand!

– press and hold the key Alt;

– on the additional numeric keypad (the numeric pad is located on the right side of the keyboard), enter the character code;

– when you release the key Alt, the desired character will be inserted into the text.

Note. There must be a numeric keypad (if it is not, turn it on by pressing the key NumLock).

Some character codes are listed below:

0123 (or 123 )

0124 (or 124 )

Knowing these codes (or at least having a printed piece of paper with these codes “at hand”) allows you to increase the speed of working on the keyboard, even in Word"e.

Often, when first getting acquainted with a personal computer, the user has a question about what characters are on the keyboard and how to enter them. Within the framework of this article, each group of keys will be described in detail, indicating its purpose. A method for entering non-standard characters using ASCII codes will also be outlined. This material is of greatest interest to those who work with a text editor, such as Microsoft Word or another similar application (OpenOffice Writer).

Functional set

Let's start with There are 12 of them on the keyboard. They are located in the top row. Their purpose depends on the open application at the current time. Usually a hint is displayed at the bottom of the screen, and these are the most frequently performed operations in this program (for example, creating a directory in Norton Commander is “F7”).

Keys and register

A special group of keys are keys. They control the operation mode of another part of the keyboard. The first one is "Caps Lock". It changes the case of letters. By default, lowercase characters are entered. If we press this key once, then when we press the keys, they will appear. This is the simplest and most convenient way to put characters on the keyboard with different case. The second key is "Num Lock". It is used to toggle the numeric keypad. When it is turned off, it can be used for navigation. But when turned on, it works like a regular calculator. The last key in this group is “Scroll Lock”. It is used in table processors. When it is inactive, it moves through the cells, and when it is turned on, the sheet scrolls.

Control

Separately, it is worth considering the control keys. First of all, these are arrows. They move the cursor one position left, right, up and down. There is also page navigation: “PgUp” (page up) and “PgDn” (page down). To go to the beginning of the line use “Home”, to the end - “End”. The control keys include “Shift”, “Alt” and “Ctrl”. Their combination switches the keyboard layout (this depends on the operating system settings).

While holding “Shift”, the case of the entered characters changes and it becomes possible to enter auxiliary characters. For example, let's find out how to type characters from this set on the keyboard. Let's enter "%". To do this, hold down “Shift” and “5”. The set of auxiliary characters depends on the active keyboard layout at the current time. That is, some characters are available in the English layout, and others are available in the Russian layout.

We pay attention to the symbols that are on the keyboard. Deleting a character on the left is "Backspace" and on the right is "Del". “Enter” - goes to a new line. Another special key is “Tab”. In a table, it provides a transition to the next cell, and at the end adds a new line. For text, pressing it causes an “increased” indentation between characters to appear. And in the file manager, pressing it leads to a transition to another panel.

Basic set

The main set depends on the active layout at the current time. It can be Russian or English. Switching between them is carried out using the combinations “Alt” + “Shift” on the left or “Ctrl” + “Shift”. The selected combination is determined in the operating system settings. You can find out the active combination by selection. That is, click the first of them and look at the state of the language bar (located in the lower right corner of the screen). If a language change has occurred, it means that this is the combination we need (for example, from “En” to “Ru” or vice versa). The first one is installed by default.

The alphabetic characters on the keyboard are located in its central part and are divided into three rows. The more often a symbol is used, the closer it is to the center, the less often it is used, the further away it is from it. That is, the letters are distributed not alphabetically, but according to At first, it is difficult to get used to this principle of organizing the distribution of characters, but the more you work, the more you get used to it and understand that it is really convenient. One more nuance that needs to be taken into account. For short-term switching between capital and uppercase letters, it is better to use “Shift”, and for long-term typing - “Caps Lock”.

Numeric keypad

Another required component of such input devices is a numeric keypad. It is located on the right side of it. It has two modes of operation: input and navigation. In the first case, characters are typed on the keyboard (these are numbers and basic mathematical operations). This is convenient when working with large A; in the second option, the keys for moving the cursor and page navigation are duplicated. That is, arrows for moving the marker, “PgUp”, “PgDn”, “Home” and “End” - all this is present here.

Switching between them is done using the “Num Lock” key. When it is turned off (the LED is inactive), navigation works, and when turned on, digital dialing works. If necessary, you can set the desired operating mode after booting the personal computer into the BIOS (this is best done by advanced users, since beginners may have problems with this operation).

Punctuation marks

Punctuation marks on the keyboard are concentrated mostly near the right “Shift” key. This is a period and a comma. Also in the English version of the layout, the remaining symbols (colon, question and exclamation marks) are located on the main numeric keypad, which is located immediately below the function keys. To enter them, briefly hold down “Shift” and together with it the corresponding button.

About what doesn't exist

But what about the characters that are not on the keyboard? Is there any way to get them? The answer to this question is yes. There are two ways to type such characters. The first of these involves using the Word text editor. After launching it, go to the “Insert” toolbar and select “Symbol” there. In the list that opens, select “Others”. Then a special input window will open. Here, using the navigation keys, find the desired symbol and press “Enter”.

Additional characters on the keyboard can be typed in another way - using ASCII codes. This works in all Windows applications - a major plus. The downside is that it uses a lot of code that you need to remember. First, we find out the digital code of the sign we need on the official website of Microsoft Corporation or in any other source where there is a corresponding table, and remember it. Then we go to the application we need.

Be sure to turn on “Num Lock”, hold down “Alt” and on the numeric keypad on the right, sequentially type the code found in the previous step. At the end, you need to release “Alt” and after that the desired symbol must appear. For example, to enter “ ”, use the combination “Alt” + “9829”. This is convenient to use for non-standard

Design of text messages in chat or pages on social networks. After all, it is much more convenient to remember a non-standard record than a regular one. And this decision just contributes to this.

Results

Within the framework of this material, all the characters on the keyboard that exist today were described. The purpose of all keys is indicated and practical examples of operation are given. It also shows a working methodology that allows you to go beyond the usual set of characters using ASCII codes. All this together will help the novice user to thoroughly understand the operation of the keyboard and understand the basic principles of the functioning of a personal computer.
