Windows 10: Automatically some special characters are showing in all existing documents.

Automatically some special characters are showing in all existing documents.

Special keyboard characters.

I cannot find the special characters "ð" and "þ" in the Keyboard.



These are special Icelandic characters, Do they exist at all?



If not does anyone know if they will come with the Mango update?

 

Special characters no longer appearing in windows 10

I have many apps and documents on my PC that use special characters, such as Greek letters, Cyrilic letters and Symbols in addition to the (American) English that is predominate. Previous to the most recent update, all special characters appeared without
any difficulty where I wished them to appear. Since the update, all special characters have been replaced with either a ? or a ▯, depending on which application is used. This extends to the Character Map app, which will show only some of the characters (only
those represented on a U.S. keyboard) instead of all of the characters for each and every font.

I have attempted to change the default Windows 10 font from Segoe UI to Segoe UI Symbol to solve the problem, but it seems that Segoe UI Symbol has no letters so all the text is replaced with ????????. Segoe UI has only the most common American letters
and symbols and nothing else.

This error is appearing in Word documents, Notepad documents, MP3 titles and tags, icon names, websites, and others.

How do I continue to include all the unicode symbols, especially the special characters, on my desktop and in all the apps?

 

Special characters in Win10

My personal feeling is that the special functionality of the right Alt Key is being depreciated, All the keyboards I had to hand here did not have any markings such as the GR they used to have ... and I have read some reports is issues with the right Alt on some keyboard maps Mostly the issues with Russian after the addition of the Indian Rupee symbol, but other reports mentioned others including US

All the characters in the Full Unicode Character Sets can be inserted in windows using the Alt Key + a four digit number - All these codes are shown in windows own Character Map applet, (click on start type c h a and it will be at the top of the list. you could then make a crib sheet of those you use most and always use the Character Applet for those rare ones
