Hidden Symbols In Your Keyboard

Have you wanted to make a cents ¢ 

symbol or a degree º symbol and can't 

find it on your keyboard? Well, they

are hidden under the other symbols. 

Now to type 25¢ , just hold the
option key and hit 3, or to add degrees
  in 350º, hold the option key and hit 0,
same for trademark™ or make an ellipses…

All you need to do is hold down the 

option/alt key and hit the 

corresponding number/symbol key.

Here are some examples;

      regular key:  1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   0   

 w/option tab:  ™   £   ¢    ∞    §    ¶     •    ª     º  

    ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

regular:  -   =   ;    '    ,    .   /   

option:   –   ≠   …   æ    ≤   ≥   ÷   

    –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

regular:   [   ]   \

  option:   “   ‘    «  

But wait…there's more!

Now go across the alphabet keys

and find these; hold the option key down.

row 1(q-p):  œ ∑ ´ ® † ¥ ¨ ˆ ø π

row 2(a-l):  å ß ∂ ƒ © ˙ ∆ ˚ ¬ 

row 3(z-m):     Ω ≈ ç √ ∫ ˜ µ 

I've used the º degree symbol a lot on my 

recipe blog, Rita's Recipes for oven temps.

The cents ¢, the ellipsis… and a few others 

come in handy. Of course there a a lot more. 

I need to play around a bit and find them.

Cheers!

Here's another tip. Copy and paste this
chart to an email and print it; tuck it under
your keyboard for handy reference.
