Infinity sign on keyboard

In the modern world, much attention is paid to the development of advanced technologies and device development. It is impossible to imagine our life without technology that surrounds us in our daily activities. Among the high-tech devices there are various devices that make life easier. They make it possible to save time and achieve better results with the least amount of effort and energy.

Keyboard characters

Advanced developments have entered almost all areas of human activity where labor automation is needed. They have also become commonplace in everyday life. For example, most people have a computer at home with many devices connected to it that perform a common task and ensure the smooth functioning of the system. Until relatively recently, this seemed impossible and was very rare.

REFERENCE! The computer, being a powerful computing machine, needs to provide complex programmable processes with other devices. It is of particular interest for future discoveries.

However, today in this article we will not talk about the entire computer. We will talk about the keyboard, which is indispensable for ensuring normal operation.We will talk about its purpose and hidden capabilities that remain unknown to most users.

The keyboard was originally invented as a means for entering information using special buttons (keys). But not all symbols can be placed on buttons. Why? But because there are a lot of them. However, drawings and pictures cannot be inserted. Over the years, its design has changed, but the main task has remained unchanged:

• Using it we enter text characters and any information.
• We use it in games to perform various actions.
• We use it to write encodings.
• Load the programs and open the system dialog boxes.
• We type special characters using combinations.
• If the mouse is disabled, it can become the main tool for working and restoring settings.

IMPORTANT: Some combinations are especially useful when equipment freezes or turns off. We recommend that you remember them for future use.

Standard double character keys - how to use them?

Everyone is familiar with the classic version of the keyboard. It is a rectangular device connected to a computer, with evenly spaced buttons. Each of the buttons carries information about a specific sign assigned to it. When you press the corresponding button, one of the possible symbols is displayed on the screen.

This can be a sign of copyright, paragraph, multiplication, stress, temperature, with a cross, dollar, euro, root, or, for example, you can put a root, a vertical stick, a quote designation, a dog, many punctuation marks and other important symbols. They are entered using codes.And if plus and minus, as well as diameter or meter, can be found on the keyboard, then the sign of infinity or the ruble will be entered only through the code. The codes work on a wide variety of brands of computers. The signs will be displayed even if the regular Asus is replaced with a MAC.

IMPORTANT: All buttons must occupy their designated places. When disassembling for cleaning, make a note of the key locations for proper reassembly.

All characters are divided into text, graphic, and numeric, representing a variety of encodings. An ordinary user without special skills and knowledge in the field of computer technology does not use all the capabilities of technology. They are entered both in Word and in social networks. They are also reflected on the phone.

Most often, beginners are interested in how to put the division sign or degree Celsius, as well as Roman numerals. Common characters such as comma, multiply, apostrophe, and hard sign are also typed using alt codes. On a laptop or Android, it is not at all necessary to choose English instead of Russian. Roman numerals, by the way, are easy to type from an English keyboard. The creation of an author's symbol is not yet provided. There are approximately several thousand characters in total.

For normal average work of a beginner and an amateur, a basic set of commands is enough. If you want to expand your horizons, or you have an urgent need to learn more about the capabilities of your technology, we suggest considering a list of possible symbols and signs that can be typed using standard keyboard input.

REFERENCE! If you can’t find the right sign for a long time, you can copy it from the Internet and paste it.

Regardless of the model and type of device, the operating principle will be approximately the same on all systems, so we will present a general plan for activating symbols. Since they are all divided into several levels (according to the complexity of pressing and the displayed icon), we will conditionally divide them into three groups:

• Regular symbols printed on buttons. (Question mark - question or exclamation marks)
• Symbols that are activated using combinations or hotkeys.
• Complex combinations of buttons that call various programs.

Depending on what exactly you want to learn, choose one of the proposed items to study. We will tell you everything in order and start with the simplest set.

As mentioned above, on some buttons, in addition to the main symbol, there is an image of a secondary symbol, usually it is smaller in size. The developers decided to make the device compact and assigned several characters to some keys at once. To activate symbols such as percent, hash, asterisk and others, you need to use the following algorithm:

1. Learn to switch from lowercase to uppercase letters and back using Shift.
2. Select the button you are interested in with the image of the required sign.
3. Click on it while holding down the Shift button.
4. In some cases, you will need to change the layout to Latin.

IMPORTANT: It is necessary to press simultaneously, otherwise nothing will work.

Special codes that few people know about

Usually people come across the previous option by accident, when it is necessary to use percentages or exclamations in text documents. If you have managed to master the first level and discover new knowledge, you can begin to study the next point.

At this stage, you will become familiar with using the Alt key combination with others to enter unusual icons. As is clear from the description, the correct execution of the command will be as follows:

1. Find the button on your keyboard that says Alt.
2. Press and hold it.
3. After that, press another number key you are interested in on the NumPad.
4. You can enter an integer, for example, Alt + 123. At the same time, hold Alt and do not release until the desired combination is completely entered.
5. After this, the desired figure should appear on the screen.

There are many different images obtained by this method, their number amounts to several hundred or more. We will look at ten possible options. If you want to study the full list of elements, you can try this algorithm for each button and write down the ones you like most.

• The sequence begins with a combination with 1. You get a cute smiley face.
• When combined with a deuce, a black and white smiley will appear.
• After this comes a deck of cards. The number three contains hearts.
• Four - diamonds.
• The five represents clubs.
• For spades, use a combination with a six.
• Then comes Alt+7 to mark the point in the middle of the lowercase text.
• For 8, a square with rounded corners.
• 9 will draw a circle.
• 10 will display a black square with a white circle inside.
• Next come: male and female symbols, melody, sun, arrows, double exclamation...

You can type all this using classic symbols on the most ordinary keyboard. You can also try changing the layout, a lot depends on this too.Print non-standard images and surprise your interlocutors, because such characters are used very rarely and are practically never found in classical texts.

ADVICE: This method is most popular on social networks, where you need to leave comments and supplement them with various emoticons and figures.

What are hotkeys and secret combinations for and how to enable them?

If you already knew all this and want to learn something new, we recommend reading about the list of combinations. These combinations consist of two or more buttons. They are more complex to perform and are usually used in emergency situations to activate a menu or control panel. If necessary, you can find a list of various commands performed using the buttons. We present a list of some important combinations that may come in handy:

1. Pressing Alt+Ctrl+Delete simultaneously will call the dispatcher and close all dialog windows.
2. Pressing Win+R will open the “Run” window, with which you can launch any program.
3. The combination of Win with arrows shrinks the window and moves it in the direction corresponding to the selected arrow.
4. Ctrl+Shift+Tab helps you flip through open tabs.
5. Win+D allows the user to open and close the desktop.

Depending on the computer model and the operating system it uses, keyboard shortcuts may vary and be used for different purposes. More detailed information can be found online on the device specifications and description page.

The combinations described above are worth remembering in case your computer mouse disconnects or malfunctions.Most users cannot imagine working without a mouse and do not know other ways to activate system programs, which significantly complicates the task if it breaks down.
