Answer 2

If you're using Windows XP, you could use the character map (usually found at Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map).

There then, you can just select the one you want click on it once, and then you would see in the lower right corner a code combination for what you'd have to press on your keyboard to get the Ascii code inserted.

For Example, to get ³ I just hold down the ALT key while typing in the number 0179... = ALT+0179 makes ³ and so on...

hope that helps...

Answer 4

Few symbole are available on the ASCII code - but if you have Microsoft Word, there are "special symbols" available.

And there is special math software to produce complete equations with everything, viewable and printable.

Ask a good software distribution company in your country or a university student's shop - they'll know.

Press Shift and whatever number you are looking for that symbol. You have to hold the Shift Key down and press the number at the same time.
