  2. When making a list in Notepad I want to place a check mark beside some of the listed items.
    So tonight I googled a way to do that. I came across a webpage on control keys and symbols.
    The instructions stated that Open the Character Map and under the pull down menu item look for Windlings 2.
    I did that and found my check mark symbol. PTL. So I selected the check mark symbol and copied it.
    So I went to my opened notepad document and did the right click menu with the mouse and selected paste.
    Instead of the check mark symbol I got the Capital Letter P. I just tried to paste the check mark symbol here and I got (P) again.

    So do I need to be in unicode mode to get the check mark to work? Hey I know it is less complicated if I use shift x butt I wanted to "spread my winglings"!

    :)

    Notepad in Windows 10 doesn't display Chinese character

    Hello everyone!

    The Notepad in my Surface Pro 3 using Windows 10 doesn't display Chinese characters correctly, it shows strings of strange characters instead of Chinese. I would appreciate very much if anyone could help me solve this problem.

    Regards,

    Howe

  5. Well I found the answer to my question. I should have thought through this a little longer.

    Notepad is native in ANSI mode.
    However Wordpad can work in UTF-8 mode.
    I found steps to make Notepad usable in UTF-8 mode but there are a lot of steps and once again there has to be a registry hack to make it work.
    Now how do I make Workpad be listed in the most used application through the Start Menu?

  6. Notepad only works with one font at a time, since you are working with pure ASCII and no associated formatting information is included in a text file. Using WingDings won't work there (well it works but then you can ONLY type using wingdings). If you want a check-mark in Notepad, use Consolas font and also select same font in CharacterMap and use the square-root sign.
