Special Keyboard Characters

Do you get stuck, when you want to represent certain words in symbols? Are you learning a new language, but do not know how to type the special keyboard characters? Here I bring to you the list of all such characters.

A special character ranges from punctuation marks, characters from foreign languages, those with accents from various languages, musical notations, mathematical symbols, to currency symbols.

There are certain punctuation marks, which can be typed from the keyboard and do not really require a keyboard shortcut for the same. The examples being quotation mark, single and double colon, semi-colon, comma, etc. At the same time, there are also other symbols like &, %, #, @, $, etc., which can also be typed directly from the keyboard. We will now have a look at the special keyboard characters in a list form.

Note:- All the keys mentioned below should be used by pressing and holding the Alt key followed by the number specified for that character.
