Re: Symbols!!!!

If you have a Mac, use the Option key, plus a letter:

Option + Q = œ
Option + Shift + 7 = ‡
Option + F = ƒ
Option + Shift + K = 
Option + = =
Option + 0 = º

Etc Etc Etc

¥œ∑´® ¥¨ˆøπ“‘«åß∂ƒ©˙∆˚¬…æΩ≈ç√∫˜µ≤≥÷
those are the only symbols I can make on a mac. Other than accents:

but there's probably more.

Re: Symbols!!!!

On windows, you have to press alt+ a code on the number pad. On a mac it's option+ a normal letter, number or symbol, but it's more limited.

This might sound weird, but I have a collection of characters that you can't normally type, some not even with an "alt code". I just copy/paste them into a TextEdit document. I could probably give you the whole thing, but I can't today.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: Symbols!!!!

It only works on a Pc, not a laptop. You need to put numbers lock on and use the alt key.
