Inserting Symbols

Content Editor supports unicode, enabling you to insert symbols (characters) that are not available from your keyboard.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the topic focus (cursor) is in a location where you can insert a symbol.
  2. On the Insert tab, click Symbol.

    A drop down menu appears with symbols that you can insert.

  3. Hover over the symbol you want and then click it to insert that symbol at the insertion point in the topic.
  4. Alternatively, if you know the ASCII code for the symbol you want to insert, you can specify Alt+xxxx where xxxx is a four digit code for the symbol.

    For example the ASCII code for the section sign is 167, so you could type Alt+0167 to obtain §.
