Male Female Symbols Microsoft Word Mac
Your average keyboard has enough letters, numbers, and punctuation marks for all your day-to-day typing needs. But what if you need symbols or special characters that aren’t on your keyboard?
Well, in Microsoft Word, you have three main options:
- Use the Symbol menu.
- Learn some ASCII codes.
- Use Microsoft Word’s special character shortcuts.
- Nov 18, 2006 I'm putting together a spreadsheet for my wedding. I'd like to add little icons for the things the groomsmen do and things the bridesmaids do. I thought I'd be able to find the male and female symbols in the 'Wingdings' or 'Webdings' font, but no luck there. Any suggestions? I'm using Windows XP and Microsoft Excel.
- A gender symbol is a pictogram or glyph used to represent either biological sex or sociological gender (a terminological distinction originating in 1950s sociology) in either biology, medicine, genealogy or selective breeding, or in sociology, gender politics, LGBT subculture and identity politics. Pictograms used to indicate male and female public toilets became widely used beginning in the.
- Please see the updated post Mathematical Symbols in Word for Mac for a screencast describing the current best method (in my opinion). Creating a maths worksheet in Microsoft Word without using the proper symbols does not present well – I’m sure you’ve seen 2. 2 = 4 or 2 × 2 = 4 rather than 2 × 2 = 4.

In the rest of this post, we’ll look at how to do each of these in your writing.
1. Using the Symbol Menu
To see the Symbol menu in Microsoft Word, go to Insert > Symbols on the ribbon and click the Symbol button (or Insert > Advanced Symbol > Symbols in the menu system in Word for Mac).
This will open a quick access menu of 20 frequently used symbols to pick from. However, you can also access the full range of special characters in Microsoft Word as follows:
- Go to Insert > Symbols and click Symbol to open the menu.
- Click More Symbols… to open a new window.
- Scroll through until you find the symbol you want to use.
- Click Insert to add the symbol to your document.
The full range of special characters in Microsoft Word.
The symbol will then appear in your document at your cursor. Microsoft Word will also add it to the quick access menu, saving your time if you need to use the same symbol again.
2. ASCII Codes
ASCII codes each indicate a different symbol, so you can use them to add special characters to a document quickly via the numeric keypad:
- Learn or look up the correct ASCII code for the symbol(s) you need.
- Turn on Num Lock on your keyboard to activate the numeric keypad.
- Hold down the Alt key and type the required code.
The corresponding symbol will then appear at your cursor position.
3. Shortcuts for Special Characters
For some special characters, your simplest option is to let Microsoft Word do the hard work! There are, for example, shortcuts available for the following common symbols:
Special Character | Shortcut | Autocorrect Option |
Trademark symbol (™) | Ctrl + Alt + T | Write “TM” in parentheses |
Registered trademark symbol (®) | Ctrl + Alt + R | “R” in parentheses |
Copyright symbol (©) Web and cloud development using C#ASP.NET Core and.NET CorePublish to AzureAzure FunctionsAzure Connected ServicesDocker container toolsDesktop developmentWPF and Windows FormsUWPMac Apps using Xamarin and C#Console apps with C#Desktop apps using CMobile and gamingMobile development with.NET using Xamarin and C#Game development using Unity and C#Mobile and game development using COther workloads and toolsJavaScript/TypeScriptPythonSQL Server data toolsNode.jsUnit testingVersion control with Git. Mac visual microsoft sql server. | Ctrl + Alt + C | “C” in parentheses |
Closed Ellipsis (…) | Ctrl + Alt + . | Three full stops without spaces |
Euro (€) | Ctrl + Alt + E | “E” in parentheses |
You’ll notice we’ve included an “autocorrect” version for each symbol above. In these cases, Microsoft Word will automatically correct the specified text to create the symbol.
For example, to add a trademark symbol to a document, we have two options:
- Hold down Ctrl + Alt + T at the same time.
- Write “(TM)” and let Microsoft Word change this to the symbol.
