I am sure there is hotkey but I don't know it. If you are using Windows, go to Start ---- Accessories ---- System Tools ---- Character Map. Then copy and paste the symbol(s) you need.
If you are calculating something, remember that square root is the same as raising something to the 1/2. So use the x^y key and raise it to the 0.5.

Perhaps you want to be able to type the square root symbol? There are a few ways. One way, with Windows, is to use the "Character Map" accessory. On a Mac you can use the "Character Palette".

Don't think there is one on the keyboard. If your using windows 98 and above, go to Start>Programs>Accessories>Calculator> and sqrt is on the standard calculator..
