When I want to type a special non-English character like Ø, on my Android phone I simply long press on “o” on the keyboard and it brings up every variation of the letter o you could think of.
On Windows, the best you get is “please memorise this giant list of four number codes”. If I’m going to have to google the code I’m probably just going to copy the letter and paste it into whatever I’m writing.
Why not add them to the damn emoji menu (Windows key + .)
At least on Windows 10, they’re there. You just have to click around a bunch
Oh shit, you’re right! I just saw a bunch of wingdings looking symbols and my eyes clouded over. This’ll save some time in the future, thanks!
Or press [win + .]
