How to Make Keyboard Symbols with the "Alt" Key and Numeric Keypad:
Another way is to use the "Alt" key and numbers - making sure to use your numeric keypad, not the numbers on the top of the keyboard. NumLock needs to be ON.
Using the numeric keypad, hold down the Alt key, and hit the numbers (in succession) shown below for the symbol you want to use. For example for ©Copyright, hold down Alt, press the number 0, then press the numbers 1, 6, 9. Then you can let up the Alt key.
***LAPTOP USERS: If you don't have a numeric keypad, you'll need to use either the insert function or Character Map method.

These basic symbols will work with most text fonts.
