100 Amazing Computer Tips
Have you ever wondered how people inserted special characters such as smiley faces, hearts, arrows, etc. into their emails, Tweets, Facebook posts, or worksheets? They probably used Alt codes to accomplish it. This sheet has been downloaded over 40 thousand times!
Alt codes have been around for decades and were used by early programmers. I have compiled a list below for your use. For best results, you should save the picture by clicking on it with the right mouse button and choosing "Save Image As" or "Save Picture As" and saving it on your desktop.
