ALT Codes for underused symbols

[lorcani]

I know a few ALT codes, but I wanted to post an infinity sign today, and the character map said that the code was "U+221E." How would I go about typing that? Whenever I get to typing the E, it will hop to whatever is assigned "e" as a hotkey.

Anyone have any advice?

I think you might have to copy/paste it from the character map. ∞

In a lot of programs, it comes up as a ? no matter how hard I try. Anyone know a way around this?

That's just the program's limited amount of acceptance for that font. They don't have a version of that symbol for that particular font, or even at all.

It's kinda frustrating...

I wanted to type Uber with the dots over the U and IE wouldn't let me. (some other forums' sig.)

Heh. It's called an umlaut.

Ya just depends on what font your using. ¿Como estas hoy?
