Wanted to type special characters such as ® © ¼ ½ ™ ȇ ǎ À ¿ ? You don't need to memorize any codes because Windows have already built-in a simple tool for this.

• Start > Run.
• Type 'charmap' and press Enter.

      

• The character map will be shown. Double click any character that you want to select it, then click 'Copy' to copy and paste it to anywhere you want :)

End Note

If you highlight a character, the shortcut code for it will be shown at the bottom right corner. Not every character has a shortcut code though.In the above example, Alt+0174 means to hold the Alt button, press 0 1 7 4 in sequence on your Numpad (make sure Numlock is enabled) and release the Alt button. Doing so will type ® straight away without using charmap. Try it!

PS: The special characters may not be supported by some programs/website/forums. Use it with care.
