"Special characters" include the many accents that occur in languages other than English, as well as copyright signs, trademark signs and so on. You must have the Character Map accessory installed on your computer.

Step2
Click on Fonts to select the font you want to use.


Step3
Locate the special character that you want to use, and click on it.


Step4
Click on the Select button. An image of the character will appear in the text box above the Select button.


Step5
Click on the Copy button. Your character is now copied to the Clipboard.


Step6
Click Close.


Step7
Go to the document that is to receive the special character. Put your cursor at the spot where you want the character to appear.


Step8
Paste the character into your document (Control + v from the keyboard or Paste from the Edit menu). Your character appears on the document.
