"U+2660" is common jargon to refer to the Unicode character with scalar value 2660 (hexadecimal), see <http://www.unicode.org>. It depends on your operating system whether and how you can input arbitrary Unicode characters via special shortcuts. -Stephan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

In Ubuntu, press Ctrl+u â release keys â press the code â press âµ (Enter). In Windows and MacOS X I don't know. OT: I actually created my own keyboard layout to include all the characters I think I need - 4 characters/key, I can even type with the arrow keys (âââââ¬ââ¹â¨, Enter key (âµÂ¶), Tab key (â¤â¥), Delete key (â¦â) and more⦠⢠(AltGr+Shift+y), ⣠(AltGr+y), â¡ (AltGr+Shift+u), â (AltGr+u) If you don't have a Unix-like OS, you can probably, as a workaround, create four simple macros that insert those characters for you and then assign them to a keyboard shortcut or you could create four buttons and assign the macros to them.
