Note that the digits on the numeric keypad or numpad should be used for typing symbols, the NumLock should be turned on. The digits on the number line of the typing section would not serve the purpose of keing in symbols.
Laptop users need to press the FN or function key along with the following keys to achieve the Numpad functionality: M = 0 J = 1 K = 2 L = 3 U = 4 I = 5 O = 6 7 = 7 8 = 8 9 = 9 Best Regards, Zujar An optimist laughs to forget while a pessimist forgets to laugh... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vikas Kapoor Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2012 11:08 PM To: Mujtaba Merchant; Access India Subject: Re: [AI] Knowledge Sharing: Typing Currency Symbols And let me also tell you that the the unique code for the newly inducted symbol for rupee is 8377, which you won't find even in the list of JAWS key+4, although JAWS by default at the moment may not pronounce that, however, you can always edit the JAWS dictionary to make certain words pronounce the way you want. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mujtaba Merchant To: Vikas Kapoor Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2012 10:49 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Knowledge Sharing: Typing Currency Symbols Awesome!

We all use US keyboards, thus the $ symbol is easily typed by pressing the Shift+4 key. But how do you get the pound and yen symbol in a US keyboard? Keep the alt key pressed followed by the numbers below to get the listed Symbols: Pound: 156 Yen: 0165 Try it out it really works! And please feel free to share more currency symbols that you think we can do with the US keyboard.
