Follow the below instructions on how to use these Alt key shortcuts:
- Press and Hold any of the ALT key and then press the numbers one by one.
- Make sure Numeric lock is switched on.
- Shortcut keys with numbers will only work with ALT and the number pad keys as shown in the below keyboard picture. It may not work as expected with the number keys part of the regular keyboard.
If you don’t have separate number pad on your keyboard, enable the number lock and using the shortcuts with keyboard numbers as shown below. In most cases, you have to use function key with alt and press numbers.

Best site I have found for these keystrokes I have been looking for for a long time.
Thanks.
Incredible, just the ALT shortcuts I’d given up hope of ever finding on the internet and here you have it compiled in a neat list. Thank you so much for sharing this information.
Thanks a bunch. I found your table highly invaluable, such a complete package you have shared here.
Anyone consider buying PopChar for Windows? Solves all these problems.
Probably, no one prefers to purchase €29.95 product for typing symbols. Perhaps, they buy a bigger keyboard with separate numeric pad for lower price.
I don’t usually comment on things, but THANK YOU! You solved this, great article :)
Hi there
Is there a simple way for me to edit the shortcut codes for symbols? (for use in naming files & folders in Windows 10 specifically) I do know how to do it in Word.
Eg – I use this symbol a lot • , as well as the GBP and EURO sign, and would like something simple like (Alt +1 +1 or Ctrl +1) something like that.
Many thanks in advance
You can create custom shortcuts in Word for symbols, details are here in this article https://www.webnots.com/how-to-create-custom-shortcuts-for-symbols-in-microsoft-word/.
Make sure it should not be the same shortcut with any other system default.
Actually it is not possible since the computer setups are done and we cant change the hot keys for the world. so the answer is no
Thank you so much for these shortcuts.
I remember the Performing Arts symbol here, but I can’t find it now… What was its code?
It’s there in the table, you can search “performing” in the search box. Alt code for Performing Arts symbol ? is Alt + 127917 under Special category.
Sorry — pressing ALT and, then, typing some of the number codes above did not do anything . . . except, open the Spell Check.
Are you, perhaps, omitting an important piece of information?
Also, the number codes are different in my version of Word 2007. So, . . .
You need to type the numbers using a number pad on your keyboard as explained in the article. Alt code will not work with the regular number keys on the keyboard. In addition, the codes may differ on Word 2007.
hold alt while typing then release
what is the alt number greater than or equal to
Alt + 8805 is for greater than or equals to symbol like this ≥

We have tested on Windows 10 with different Office versions, they are working. Those are default shortcuts should work fine with standard US English keyboard.
Alt +0185,0178, 0179 gives us 1,2,3. Can you share if I want to add 4,5,6 and so on
Type (c) and press spacebarf for copyright. type (r) for registered. For continuation, just type … . Type (TM) for trademark. The Alt + Ctrl + letters as shown above worked for me, though. I don’t know how to do the Euro any other way.
Alt + control + e should produce Euro symbol. If that does not work on Windows 10, press Win + ; keys to open Emoji keyboard. Search for Euro emoji and insert on your documents.
Cool! Thank you. I never knew these shortcuts existed!
How to make shortcut for Strikethrough?
Doesn’t seem to have any default shortcut, other than pressing “Shift+ Control + F” to open Fonts dialog and choose Strikethrough option.
Otherwise you can create custom shortcut as explained in this article https://www.webnots.com/how-to-create-custom-shortcuts-for-symbols-in-microsoft-word/.
These code vary depending on the user’s codepage so they don’t all work the same on all machines.
Yes, also changes on Windows 7 and Windows 10 but generally works on all the manufacturer’s PC.
Alt 9812
not working in window.
Please give me the shortcut for the letter c or/C with a hacek on. I need it to type text in Croatian and Serbian. Thank you in advance.
Alt + 268 for capital hacek Č and
Alt + 269 for small hacek č
Hi
I want to know what the alt code for the rounding sign is.
pls let me know.
If you meant approximate ≃ symbol then use Alt + 8771.
What about for check symbol, is there any alternative for it?
Try “Alt + 10003” or “Alt + 9745”.
not working
any other shortcut for check mark?
alt – 251
That is technically a square root sign… lol
Hi,
Thanks for this table. I have used the ALT key to insert special characters for years and suddenly they are inserting crazy characters for me. For example, ALT-150 gives me a little sun character instead of an en dash. ALT-134 gives a lower case “a” with a little circle above it instead of a daggar. ALT-167 gives degree symbol instead of section mark. Nearly everything is wrong. (I saw your ALT-25 for down arrow. Hadn’t used that one. It works. Go figure.)
I’m Googling like crazy to see if there is any solution to my problem and find no references to this behavior whatsoever. I’m wondering if anyone here has ever seen this and knows how to fix it.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
You can try with leading zeros to see whether it works for you – for example, Alt + 0150 should show you en dash.
Also check the font settings that you are not using special fonts.
Is there a shortcut key for the at sign? other than the shift and 2 keys
Alt + 64 for at sign as mentioned in the table.
Your link for “special symbols” links to “Speical-Symbols.png” which is 138px x 1024px, which is basically unusable due to the small size. The other images are all of the order of 700px+, and quite legible. This is a useful set of pages, and I have sent many people to view it when they ask me for any of those special characters. This image problem was brought to my attention by one whom I referred to your site, therefore I report this oversight to your good self.
Thanks for taking time to pointing, the image is changed to larger size.
nice shortcut keys
Thank you for a great list. Have you found a shortcut for the square foot symbol? It looks like a square with a line going through it (from the top to the bottom).
The square root shortcut is Alt + 8730 as mentioned in the list, but yes it’s a radical symbol does not look like what you write.
→ this is what I get when I type Alt+8730. Is there another way to get the square foot symbol?
You didn’t mention the application you are using. If teh shortcut code not works on Word documents in Windows, enable Math AutoCorrect and use \sqrt to convert it to a square root symbol like √.
Thank you for the list it is extremely helpful but I think you have the male and female symbols confused with each other.
Thanks for the input, it is corrected now.
“Alt + 8362” give me another result instead of Israel currency icon
sir, while typing alt+128127 series as square box
i am using word2007
alt+_8759 gave me 7 why
it varies based on the program. I’ve found that it works in quite a few Microsoft programs including word, outlook, and sticky notes
It works perfectly on Microsoft Word, need to copy paste some symbols on excel & PowerPoint.
tick mark codes are wrong
alt+10003 gives me ‼
alt+10004 gives me ¶
Yep I get the same thing when I press alt+10003 and alt+10004. How do you make a tic mark (or check)?
Set the font to Wingding and press Alt + 0252
This works, thank you!
In Word those codes work but in Excel you the results you’ve shown.
I did not see an arrow pointing down. The only one I found was the download symbol, 128229.
Please let me know if I’m missing it.
Try “Alt + 25” for down arrow.
Thanks! I’ll try it!
what special character for “tab”
Check “Alt + 9” is working for you, rather you can use a single tab key.
How can I use card symbols i.e., Spades, hearts, etc.
There is a category named “Playing Cards” in the table. You can search “cards” in the search box to find the related shortcuts.
I’d love to see an equilateral triangle symbol for change/delta. Even better would be another with a flame inside for change/delta to heat.
Try, Alt + 916 for capital Greek letter delta Δ and Alt + 248 for small Greek letter delta δ.
I am using wireless keyboard, I am not able to use the special characters like ∛, ₣, ₱, Ø. Its because there is no numeric lock on the wireless key board. I am stuck, can you suggest me how to go about it?
If Alt code is not working then one of the alternate solution is to use Character Map utility available in Windows. You can search and copy the required symbols from CHARMAP program.
The other option is to enter the Unicode character of the symbol and then press Alt + X to convert in to a symbol. For example, on Microsoft Word enter 2721 and then press Alt and X to convert it in to a star ✡.
Though you may not all Alt codes at least you can get most of them using these ways.
Hope this helps.
This is simply a ‘one-stop-solution’. Thank you very much. I was wondering if anyone knows if there was an ALT code for a glowing light bulb symbol (for tips, etc.). Thank you again!
Thanks for reading. There is a bulb code in the table: Alt + 128161.
Where have you been hiding all this time. This is WONDERFUL!!! THANK YOU!!!
Good to know it helped you.
Thanks for the perfect compilation, the table is ultra fast to get the result rather than search on the image or plain text.
Symbol for Indian Rupee, please…
Alt + 8360 or Alt + 8377 – already mentioned in the table.
For the male symbol I use Alt11 and the female Alt12 using the numeric keyboard. These are different.
Thanks for the compilation, the table view is very useful with the quick search box.

the Jesus Cross isn’t what is says it is, it looks like a filled in triangle. ▲ alt + 10014
How about square
Like this ‘□’
With no shaded on it
Please help me
Bookmarking this – exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Alt 10003 gives me ‼
What’s up with that?
I was looking for a tick mark…
Can somenne help, please…
We just checked and Alt 10003 is showing tick mark. You can just copy/paste if not working for you.
☑ (Alt + 9745) does not work on my machine (Facebook writing)
◄ (Alt + 9745) Looks more like a left arrow on my machine.
You can see how it displays in your comment itself. On different programs it works differently – it works as shown in the table for Word 2010 / 2013 on Windows 7/8. We will update the list on Windows 10 soon.
i was having the same issue i just copy and paste it :)
I think it is the font type you should change.
are you trying it on Excel? do the combination on MS Word, it will give you the tick mark.
