Windows 10: How to insert text symbols and special characters in windows

I want to know is there any way to insert text symbols and special characters in windows 10?

As we can type emoji with shortcut key of Windows+.



Is there any similar shortcut key for symbols as well, where we can type symbols along with the text?



Thank you.

Unable to insert symbols

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to insert symbols. However, it would be great if you can reply with the details requested below:

• When you say, “My Windows 10 will not allow me to insert symbols” what happens when you try to insert symbols?
  
• In which application are you trying to insert symbols?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?
  

Meanwhile, you may want to try downloading fonts for all the languages and see if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Personalization and select
   Fonts from the left pane.
   
3. Now, click on the link that says Download fonts for all languages.
   
4. Restart the computer.

Let us know how it goes.
