how do you make this ツ symbol??

Question

on the keyboard....do i have to press like alt+ a number??

Answer 1

That character is a "tsu" from the Japanese katakana character set. If you only ever want to type "tsu" because it looks like a smiley-face, you can memorize one unicode value. It's 30C4 (and there's a smaller version of the same at 30C3).

If you want to type several different Japanese characters, The easy way (assuming you're using Windows) is to enable Japanese language support. To add input methods and languages:
* Go the control panel
* Select "regional and language options"
* Select "Languages" tab on the resulting dialog
* Click [Details...] button
* Click [Add...] in the resulting dialog

Then, when you want that character (a Katakana "tsu"), click on the language bar to switch into Japanese input mode, select Katakana input on the language bar, and type "tsu" (t-s-u).

The similar character (sort of like a mirror image) referenced by another poster is "shi" (30B7).

Answer 2

To type [ シ ] or [ ジ ] or [ び ]

You can access the character map and search for the unicode value. The value for [ シ ] is 30B7.

To access the character map:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map.
You can play around with this to find all the characters that Windows can support.

Unfortunately it is not easy to type it with a keyboard. You would have to remember the hexidecimal value of the character, which I do not know.

My suggestion:
Play around with the character map. Create a blank word file so that you can cut and paste the characters you want into this file for later use. I do this with Chinese characters. Hehe.

There is some information here on how to type it, but I did not read it all the way through:

Answer 3

That is a Japanese character (even though it just looks like an ordinary smiley). I suggest you search the web about that. Good luck.
