On a Mac, it's as easy as option-m.

Now my question is, how many cannot see some symbols because their font does not include them? :(

µτΦΘΩδ¶·¸¹º»¼½∞φε∩≡±≥≤÷≈°∙·

They are not as universal as one might hope, specially on a forum where such a HUGH number of different alphabets are used on member's computers. That is why I don't use them.

The real spelling of my last name is Snöberg, but english lacks the 'ö' so I add it with Alt-148 when the font allows. I see it come back on different systems as a junk character somewhat often. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too often for me to trust that greek letters would survive.

Right ALT+r

My last name is Peña, there's no ñ in english, you can get "ñ" by using right alt+n (or ALT+164)

Let me know if you can't understand the following:

"I have a capacitor of 47uF, a resistor of 470R and another of 15k."

I rest my lazy butt.  :icon_razz:

Or you could just use Character Map (Windows) Start->Programs->accessories->system tools->character map.
It will tell you the keystrokes if it's available using ALT + ....

...that's weird, on my system Ω is Alt + 1258.  That must be where the alternate alphabet weirdness comes in.

± = alt 241
Æ' (frequency) = alt 159
÷ = alt 246


oh, and neither alt 8486 or 1258 result in an ohm sign for me! The information I have lists is as alt 234 but that doesn't seem to work for me, I end up with a Û instead!
