There are literally dozens more codes as well, but those are some of the most commonly needed.

There are a few more useful ones, too:

€ - EURO ALT 0128
¥ - YEN    ALT 0165
÷ - DIVIDE ALT 0247
æ, Æ - Æ Symbol - (case sensitive) ALT 0230, ALT 0198
(Use NUM LOCK key to alter case)
§ = Section or Paragraph Symbol = ALT 21
☺ - Smiley - ALT 1, ALT 2 Black Smiley -  ☻
Ω = OHMS Symbol ALT 234


While NUM LOCK would normally be on for ALT codes, for Æ ALT 0198,  turning NUM lock off and typing ALT 0230 will give you æ, The majority are done with NUM lock on.

Now, we will see sow many posts show x number of  Ohms as x number of Ω!

We are full of complexes here, but we have Æ, Ø and Å in our alphabet.

Not a lot of people deal with number in the .00's so I can see why its not their. But, yes it should be their for the odd scansion where you need it. I don't think I've ever used the ^ before.

Carets are used extensively in computer programming, and therefore have to be on the keyboard. See the following page for some uses for the caret:

I never knew that was a carrot, I guess they could be used in programming like you said. Like in DOS

"Carrot" "caret" "karat" and "carreaux" all mean different things.

I was going to say that, but figured I would restrain myself  

Never saw Bugs Bunny munching a caret! He would have broken his teeth on even one Karat, or tiles for that matter! Poor Ben - we are hard on you, but we like you!

Here is the code for a carrot  .

Alt 234 is an easy one to remember for ohms (still can't actuallu use it on my lapop without a numbers section to the keyboard.

Well, actually, you can, but it is a bit trickier...

Click on Numlock. "7", "8", "9", "u", "i", "o", "j", "k", "l" and "m" buttons are our numeric keypad.  If on your laptop you can't find keys with tiny numbers - try them

Another way it to use the OSK (On Screen Keyboard):

Got it to work on a laptop keyboard using the tiny numbers on "m, j, k, l, u, i, o, 7, 8, and 9."

With the numlock key on, I had to hold down both the alt and function keys together when typing in the number on the tiny keys. Also, the tiny number keys show up as normal numbers when holding down just the function key. Been using laptops since around '85 and this is new to me. Beats looking up the symbol in wingdings and doing the copy/paste thing.

Thus: ¢ and ~ which is alt + function and 0162 and 0126 respectively.
