MS Excel, Windows Notepad, Apple Mac, HTML, JavaScript and
plain text etc. Learn how to type it this symbol of legal importance to
protect your intellectual property.
Copyright Symbol (also written as (c) and Copr.) is a sign which indicates the proprietary status of an
intellectual property. The symbol is composed of a letter C inside a full circle. Although, it can be used stand alone,
the Copyright symbol is most commonly used as part of a copyright notice. The copyright symbol and copyright notice
inform the user about the rights ownership of a written published work, like a blog, book or an article.

Copyright notice in the United States contains the following three parts:

1.

The Copyright symbol (letter C in a circle); the word Copyright; or the abbreviation Copr.

2. The year of first publication. If the work is a derivative work or a compilation incorporating previously
published material, the year date of first publication of the derivative work or compilation is sufficient.

designation of owner.
For example: 2015 TechWelkin

Use Alt key to input copyright symbol:

Press Alt key and then type 0169 on NumPad of your computer. Alt + 0169 is the shortcut for typing symbol. If you
are using a laptop which does not have a dedicated numpad, you can use virtual NumPad along with Function key.

Note: You must use NumPad keys to type 0169. If youll use regular number keys (located across the keyboard) then
the copyright symbol will not appear.

Use Alt+x method to input copyright symbol:

In some applications (like MS Word), you can enter Unicode of a symbol and then pressAlt+x keys to make that
symbol appear. In this case, type 00A9 and then press Alt and x keys. The code 00A9 will be replaced by the sign.

Type Degree Symbol in MS Word, HTML, Unicode

Degree symbol is a super-scripted or raised small circle. It is commonly used to denote temperatures, angles,
geographic coordinates (e.g. 37 C temperature or 45 angle).

In this tutorial, we will learn various methods of typing degree symbol in MS Word documents, Excel spreadsheets,
PowerPoint presentations and HTML webpages. We will also learn about the Unicode of degree symbol.

Type Degree Symbol in MS Word

There are several methods of typing degree symbol in MS Word. This symbol can either be typed with keyboard or
inserted as a symbol. I would recommend that you learn the keyboard method because it works quick and save you
time while working in MS Word.

Method 1:
The easiest method of typing degree symbol in MS Word is to use the key combination of Ctrl+Shift+@ and
then press space bar. Following is the sequence of pressing keys to get degree symbol:

1.

Press Ctrl and hold

2. Press Shift and hold

3. Press @
4. Release Ctrl and Shift
5. Press space bar
Method 2:
You can also use the Alt key method to type this symbol. Press Alt, hold it down and then type 0176 on
your Numeric Pad (also known as Numpad). Please note that you must type 0176 on Numpad and not on the regular
number keys that run across the keyboard.

Method 3:
This method is called the Alt+x method. In this method you type the Unicode of the desired symbol and then press
Alt+x to get it.

So, to type degree symbol, type 00B0 and then press Alt+x. Voila! the code 00B0 will be instantly replaced by a neat
tiny degree symbol,

Caveat: With this method, however, you need to be a bit careful. Technically, there should not be any space between
the number and degree symbol (i.e. 45 is correct but 45 is wrong). This lack of space may bring wrong results. For
example, if you want to type 45, youll type as below:

4500B0

Now if you will press Alt+x, MS Word will decipher the whole 4500B0 as the Unicode and therefore it will not type
the degree symbol.

The solution to this problem is that you give a space between 45 and the Unicode and once the degree symbol is typed,
then you remove the space.

Method 4:
You can insert the degree symbol in your document from the extensive symbols list provided by MS word.

Inserting degree symbol in MS Word.

1.

Open MS Word document

2. Place the cursor where you want to insert degree symbol

3. Go to Insert tab and then Symbol option
4. Click on More Symbols
5. Symbol box will come up. From Font dropdown select (normal text)
6. Scroll down to locate the degree sign
7. Double click on the degree sign to insert it.
Method 5:
You can use the AutoCorrect feature of MS Word. This feature allows you to set a key sequence for quickly inserting a
symbol. For example, if you will type <o> , it will be automatically replaced with the degree symbol. Lets see how to
do this:

1.

Open the Symbol box and select degree symbol as per to steps given in previous method.

2. After selecting the degree sign, click on the AutoCorrect button. The AutoCorrect dialog box will appear.
3. In the Replace box, type the key sequence that you would want to be automatically be replaced by degree
symbol. In the image given below, I have typed <o>

4. Click OK
5. Now, in your MS Word document, whenever youll type <o> and press space, degree symbol will appear.

Setting AutoCorrect for typing degree symbol in MS Word.

Bonus tip: There may be a case when you really need to type
just <o> in your document. In such a scenario, press
backspace and MS Word will revert its automatic action.
