Ever wondered how some make symbols like ©, ™, ®, ¶,

from:
http://www.britfeld.com/aboutme/alt.htm



*

How do you get the symbol you want?
*

Hold the Alt Key down
*

Type the number next to the symbol you want, using the Calculator part of your keyboard
*

Release the Alt Key
*

And there you have it, your symbol.

ú = 0250 û = 0251 ü = 0252 ý = 0253
þ = 0254

I just use the character map, find what I want and then copy and paste.

Are those just ASCII characters??? Back in the days of DOS we used to make directories using that.
Try alt 255, it's the space character. Man it used to piss some teachers off.

Or I could just cut and paist from your post

Thanks for the tips, I got a use for that

Can't reallly be used these days with GUI's just point and click on the directory.....

Well, they "do" work on Windows up to 2kpro.. I should know, my dad is still bitching about his old P200MMX that has folders he cannot delete from windows or dos because of me.. lol.. I don't want him getting rid of my old school pr0n and Quake lol

What do you mean you cant delete these folders you renamed with these special characters?

Also, I just used this technique to rename my recycle bin to the space key and now on my desktop is just a plain Icon with no text
