You can easily insert a special character, fraction, or other symbol in your Word documents.
The most important thing to understand when inserting symbols, fractions, special characters, or international characters is that the font you use is critical. Not all fonts have the same characters in them. For example, the Elephant font has no fraction characters in it, while Verdana does. As a result it’s important to use the right font to find the symbol or character you want.
These marks are static symbols. If you’re looking for an interactive check box that you can click on to check or uncheck, see Make a checklist in Word.
Symbol such as currency (¥), music (♫), or check marks (✔)
-
Place your cursor in the file at the spot where you want to insert the symbol.
-
Go to Insert > Symbol.
-
Pick a symbol, or choose More Symbols.
-
Scroll up or down to find the symbol you want to insert.
Different font sets often have different symbols in them and the most commonly used symbols are in the Segoe UI Symbol font set. Use the Font selector above the symbol list to pick the font you want to browse through.
-
When you find the symbol you want, double-click it. The symbol will be inserted in your file.
-
Select Close.
Tip: If you want to make your symbol larger or smaller, select it and use the Font Size setting.
If you’re going to insert the same symbol often, consider setting up AutoCorrect to insert it for you. You can find more info about that here: Insert a check mark or other symbol using AutoCorrect.
-
Click or tap where you want to insert the special character.
-
Go to Insert > Symbol > More Symbols.
-
Go to Special Characters.
-
Double-click the character that you want to insert.
Tip: Many of the special characters have shortcut keys associated with them. If you want to insert that special character again in the future, just press the shortcut key. ALT+CTRL+C inserts the Copyright symbol (©), for example.
-
Select Close.
Some fractions (1/4, 1/2, and 3/4) automatically switch to a fraction character (¼, ½, ¾) when you type them. But others do not (1/3, 2/3, 1/5, etc.) so if you want to insert those as symbols you’ll need to use the insert symbol process.
-
Click or tapwhere you want to insert the fraction.
-
Go to Insert > Symbol > More Symbols.
-
In the Subset dropdown, choose Number Forms.
Note: Not all fonts have a number forms subset. If you don’t see the number forms subset available for your font you will have to use a different font, such as Calibri, to insert the fraction character.
-
Double-click the fraction that you want to insert.
-
Select Close.
Only a handful of common fractions have a symbol that you can substitute. For more unusual fractions, such as 8/9, you can approximate the symbol by setting the numerator as superscript and the denominator as subscript. For more information see Insert subscript or superscript text.
If you plan to type in other languages often you should consider switching your keyboard layout to that language. You can find more information about that at Enable or change a keyboard layout language.
For one-off characters there are almost always keyboard shortcuts in Office to do that. For example:
-
CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+? inserts a ¿
-
CTRL+SHIFT+~ followed immediately by «a» will insert ã.
-
CTRL+SHIFT+: followed immediately by «u» will insert ü.
For more info on international characters see: Keyboard shortcuts for international characters.
You can also use the character code of the symbol as a keyboard shortcut. Symbols and special characters are either inserted using ASCII or Unicode codes. You can tell which is which when you look up the code for the character.
-
Go to Insert >Symbol > More Symbols.
-
Scroll up or down the list to find the symbol you want. You might have to change the font or the subset to locate it.
Tip: The Segoe UI Symbol font has a very large collection of Unicode symbols to choose from.
-
Towards the bottom right you’ll see boxes for Character code and a from:. The character code is what you’ll enter to insert this symbol from the keyboard and the from: tells you what kind of character it is. If from: says «Unicode (hex)» it’s a Unicode character. If from: says «Symbol (Decimal)» then it’s an ASCII character.

Set is a collection of different elements. It could be numbers, alphabets, etc. Various symbols are used to denote them (like ℝ denote set of Real Numbers) and their relationship and operation (subset, union, etc).
These set symbols helps to represent mathematical ideas in a concise way and saves space and time. In this blog we have listed all the commonly used Set symbols together and how to get them in Ms Word along with their keyboard shortcuts
List of set symbols along with their meaning and how to get them in Ms Word
Three methods to get symbols in Ms Word
Insert Symbol Method: Go to Insert > Symbols and select More Symbols. In the symbol window, click the desired symbol and hit insert. Following table gives the subset dropdown option of each symbol that can help you find a symbol.
Math AutoCorrect: This is the smartest way to get any symbol in Ms Word. Simply type the Math AutoCorrect text and hit space to get symbol. It works inside Equation editor. However, you can make it work outside equation editor, with following one time setting.
- Go to File > Options to open Word Options
- In Proofing and select AutoCorrect Options
- In Math Autocorrect tab, check box against “Use Math AutoCorrect rules outside of math regions”
Alt X Method: Type the Alt X code of symbol and press Alt + X immediately after it to get symbol.

Question
How do I find the alternate code for a particular symbol?
In the Symbol menu (which you got to by clicking Insert > Symbol> More options) choose your font. Click once on a symbol. Look at the bottom of that window, there should be shortcut keys showing. If you change the option box at the right to ASCII (decimal), then you’ll see a number in the Character code box : for small a with an acute mark á, the number is 225. Add a zero to the front of that. In your document (or wherever else that ascii codes work), hold down the ALT button and type 0225 on the number pad. Note that Alt+225 is different to Alt+0225. There you have it, an acute á. A degrees C/F sign is Alt+0176, that’s a handy number to remember.

Microsoft Word symbols cannot be easily typed in using the keyboard.
However,
the need to include these characters in documents is increasingly common these
days.
Even when writing in English, foreign names of places and people may require some of these special characters.
Scientific writings also include mathematical symbols and Greek letters.
Text may also include characters like the degree symbol and copyright symbol.
There
are character codes you can use to enter a symbol in Word. However, most people
don’t have the time to memorize these character codes.
So, in this guide today, you’ll learn how to insert any symbol in Word either using the mouse pointer or a keyboard shortcut.
NOTE: There are several methods you can use to type symbols in Word. For me, the method I use to type symbols depends on how many and how frequently I need to type them. Keep reading to choose the best method for you
Without
further ado, below are the ways to type symbols in word
1st Method: Using Insert Symbols
This
method involves using the symbols dialog box located in the symbols area at the
right border of the insert tab.
Below are steps to insert symbols in MS Word using Insert Symbols.
NOTE: in the steps below, I’ll illustrate how to insert symbols in MS Word by inserting the greater than or equal to symbol. You can use the same steps to insert any symbol of your choice.
- STEP 1: Click to position the insertion point at where you want to insert the symbol. In this example, we will place the symbol between X and 10 as you can see in the above picture.
- STEP 2: Go to the Insert tab, in the Symbols group and click Symbol, then More Symbols.
NOTE: If the symbol you want to insert is found in the symbols gallery as shown in the picture above, click it to insert it into your document. Any symbol you use will move to the first position in the gallery. Thus, the symbol gallery box gives you access to the 20 most recently used symbols. However, if you can’t find the symbol you are looking for in the symbol gallery, click on More Symbols to display all the symbols.
- STEP 3: Select your desired font from the Font drop down. You can leave it as default (Normal text). You don’t have to explore every font in the list. However, it is worth looking at Wingdings or Symbol if you want a fancy symbol.
- Step 4: Scroll down or up until you find the required symbol, then
click to select it. You can also click the desired symbol in the Recently used
symbols. - Step 5: Click Insert to insert the selected symbol then click
to close the dialog. Alternatively, double-click on the desired symbol to
insert it into your document, then close the dialog.
As soon as you click insert or double-click the symbol, Word will insert it into your document.
2nd
Method: Using the keyboard to insert symbols in Word.
Not all the symbols in Word can be found on the keyboard.
However, all the symbols can be typed using the keyboard.
Typing symbols that are not found on the keyboard can be very tedious. In fact, it is not even necessary in Word because using the first method above is much easier and simple to compare with.
However, it is still useful to know as it becomes handy to obtain certain characters or symbols in software that has no access to Insert Symbol like in Microsoft Word.
Let’s use the following exercise for example:
- Turn on your Num Lock.
- Whilst holding down the [Alt] key, type [065]
on the numeric keypad (on the right). - Then release the [Alt] key. The letter A should
appear. - To type the letter B, repeat steps 2 and 3. But this
time type [Alt 066] on the numeric keypad. - [Alt 067] should give you C, and [Alt 068] should give
you D, and so on.
This
exercise isn’t really necessary because one can easily type in any letter
directly with the keyboard.
However, not all characters and symbols are on the keyboard. Hence let’s try out the following:
- Hold down the [Alt] and type [0176] for a degree sign (°)
- Type [Alt 0189] and [Alt 0190] for fractions (½ and ¾)
- Also try [Alt 0181] for µ
But
how do you remember the number for each symbol?
It’s
almost impossible to remember. It’s not even necessary.
Instead, you should make a note of the symbols or characters you use very often.
In the next section, you’ll learn how to get the shortcut to any symbol into your Word document.
How to find the keyboard shortcut for symbols in word
You
can use the Symbol dialog box to find the character code (or keyboard shortcut)
for any symbol or character.
This way you can insert symbols by typing them on your keyboard instead of using the Symbol dialog box.
Here’s how to learn the keyboard shortcut code for a particular symbol or character in Word:
- Open the Symbols dialog box.
To
display the Symbols dialog box, go to the Insert tab, in the
Symbols group and click Symbol, then More Symbols.
- Select the symbol you want to take note of, then look near
the bottom of the dialog for the symbol name as well as its code. - To insert any symbol using its character code, press down the
[Alt] key, type the code, then release the [Alt] key.
If you are lucky, you’ll see another shortcut key aside from the character code which is much easier to type than the code.
See
screenshot below:
Assigning
shortcut keys to symbols
In
Microsoft word, you are not limited to the default hotkeys.
You can assign any keyboard shortcut key to any command or symbol to fit your needs.
As
mentioned, each and every character or symbol in Microsoft Word has a character
code that you can use on the keyboard.
Aside from these character codes, Word still gives you the space to assign a shortcut key to any symbol.
Below
are the steps to do so:
- Open the Symbols dialog box.
To
display the Symbols dialog, navigate to the Insert tab, in the
Symbols group and click Symbol, then More Symbols. The Symbols
dialog box should display.
- Click to select the symbol to which you want to assign a shortcut.
- At the bottom area of the dialog, click Shortcut Key… The Customize Keyboard dialog box appears.
- Under Specify keyboard sequence, in the Press new shortcut key field, type the keyboard shortcut you want to assign for the symbol.
If the shortcut key you assign is already assigned for a command, Word will tell you that hey dude, the shortcut key you are assigning to this symbol is already taken by another command. If you ignore and continue to assign, Word will not stop you. However, this shortcut will not work again for the command it was previously assigned to. It will now work for this symbol.
- Click Assign to assign the shortcut.
NOTE: There is another box labeled Current keys. These are the current hotkeys assigned to the selected symbol. You can take note of these hotkeys without assigning another one for the same symbol.
Typing
any symbol in Word doesn’t have to be difficult as you can see.
If you don’t understand anything explained here, let me know in the comments section below for more clarification.
