I think that's what I asking about, like copyright and trademark. Where can I find them on my computer? Specifically, I'm looking for the suits of cards, hearts, clubs, spades, diamonds. Can anyone help me here?

ASCII characters range from 1 to 255. You can print most any ASCII character to the screen by holding down the ALT key and typing in the ASCII character number on the numeric keypad on your key board. For example, hold down ALT and type the number 92 on the keypad in a text box like when you make a new post. A backslash should appear. To display all ASCII characters, if you have a Basic compiler, enter this program and run it: FOR J - 1 TO 255 PRINT CHR$(J);" "; NEXT This will print out all the characters with a few spaces after them. ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ The hearts clubs spades and diamonds are ALT 3, ALT 4, ALT 5 and ALT 6. |
I just tried in Wordpad and Notepad. Doesn't work in Word or Wordpad, but it does in Notepad. Method (as described above): hold down an <ALT> key, and while holding it down hit the number key on the numeric keypad. If that doesn't work try switching numlock on or off. Heart = <ALT> + 3 Diamond = <ALT> + 4 Club = <ALT> + 5 Spade = <ALT> + 6 In Word, you can use the Insert-->Symbol menu selection, or the Windows character map as mentioned above. Jim |
Do it just like I posted. Example: Hold down the ALT key, then, while still holding it down, type in 92 on the numeric keypad. Then release all keys. A "\" (backslash) should appear. Here's a few: æ (ALT + 145} ─ (ALT + 196) ═ (ALT + 205) Ü (ALT + 154) ⌐ (ALT + 169) |
It wont work. It either prints a question mark or takes me back here. ♠ |
It will only work in a text editor. BTW, you owe me 50 bucks for all my time!!!!

Thanks for your help. Your reward is knowing the membership poker thread is more "authentic".

The charmap program will give you the characters that you can print. Here is how I put the ¶ at the end of my posts. To find the character that you want to print. As previously pointed out by sWs2, the charmap program will show what you can get. With Windows XP(I have Win2K at home && it works equally well), Start~>Run~>charmap. Wait a half second and a window will come up with the various fonts that are installed and the characters available. For now, just have the font as Arial. Now, you had expressed interest in the copyright and trademark figures. I'll walk you through creating both. First for the copyright symbol. You will note that is on the fifth row down from the top and the fourth character from the left side. Click on the character and it will highlight. Note on the bottom right of the window that it will say Keystroke: Alt+0169. OK, that's exactly what we're going to do. Press && HOLD the left ALT key, now keep that key pressed and use your right hand to type on the numeric pad 0 - 1 - 6 - 9. NOW release the left ALT key. and VOILA!! There it is © Now for the tradmark symbol, you're going to have to scroll a good ways down to find it in the third column. Click it and check the bottom right corner of the charmap window to see Keystroke: Alt+0153. Repeat the process but use '0153' instead of '0169'. Here we go, Press && HOLD the left ALT key, now keep that key pressed and use your right hand to type on the numeric pad 0 - 1 - 5 - 3. NOW release the left ALT key. and VOILA!! There it is ™ HTH, wganz ¶ PS the ¶ character combo is 0182 |
