In some types of documents, special characters (Ω, →, ®, ™, etc.) are often used, but you may not see them on the keyboard to type. Have you ever wondered how to type them?

When encountering special characters in a document that are not on the keyboard, struggling to input them is common. Simply follow Mytour's guide below to learn how to do it.

HOW TO INSERT SPECIAL CHARACTERS INTO A DOCUMENT

Step 1: In the text document, go to the insert tab and choose symbol. (For example, inserting characters in Word)

Here, a small table of about 20 characters will appear for you to choose from directly.

Step 2: If you want to display more characters, click on more symbols to bring up a larger table for you to choose from freely.

Simply double-click or select the character and then click on insert.

Note: In the symbol table, you only need to pay attention to the following items:

- Font: The font type displaying special characters.

- Recently used symbol: Displays the 16 characters you have most recently used.

- Subset: Displays symbols grouped by category.

Depending on your usage needs, you can choose the appropriate item to insert special characters into a text file. This method allows easy input of mathematical, chemical formulas, etc., into a Word document page.
