  1. Unable to insert symbols


    My Windows 10 will not allow me to insert symbols (as in "Wingdings"). And when I look in the Fonts folder in Windows, many of the fonts have "greyed out" the "Install" box. Can anyone help me get the use of my symbol fonts back?

    INSERT SYMBOLS

    A couple of days ago I asked how to get capital letters with accents (circumflex). I got a very prompt answer suggesting a couple of methods including changing the character code on the symbols submenu. This worked very well but I didn't note the original
    character code which produces most of my commonly used symbols.

    What is this code please and is there a list of alternate character codes together with what symbols they produce?

    Many thanks

    I use Character Map to insert symbols. No complicated codes to remember.
