Re: Typing Symbols
Hello kongyiu9998,
You can type special characters in any program using Alt+Keyboard sequences. For example, for the euro currency symbol, I hold alt and type 0128
Alt+0128 = €
You can find many lists for such symbols and special characters on the internet. Here are a couple I found after a quick google search:
http://symbolcodes.tlt.psu.edu/accents/codealt.html
http://tools.oratory.com/altcodes.html
I hope this helps!

Hi kongyiu9998,
Just a note - you can also type "Character Map" into the Windows Start Menu and it will brip up a list of all the various symbols supported by Windows, which can then be easily copied.

Re: Typing Symbols
For many years I've used Character Map Pro. Although it's from 2008 it's portable and should be OK on all windows:
