How do I enter symbols?

I spent an hour or so trying to enter the twelve symbols of the Zodiac in Photoshop CS5.
In TextEdit, these symbols can be inserted through the standard Character Viewer, but in Photoshop this yields an unsupported character in the Myriad Pro font, i.e. a box with a cross. In Photoshop, the symbols are available in the WingDings font, and I was able to find out the corresponding keys to type them, but the solution is awkward.
Am I overlooking something, or is this a consequence of a lack of standardization of font matter?
Is there any failproof way of inserting symbols into Photoshop?

Do you any other fonts open, that could possibly be conflicting? Can you set any characters at all in wingdings using Photoshop?
I use WingDings in Photoshop, using trial and error I found which keys correspond to the symbols I need.
How do I sort out candidates for conflicting fonts?
I think we can narrow this down now to a font problem on your system. Either another font is conflicting or a corrupted windings is loading exclusive to Adobe.
You have to right click on the app and do show package contents to get to this. Yes I know it is the Illustrator folder.
Also check these
The first two folders do not exist. That is, there is no Fonts folder inside the Adobe folder, and I don't use Illustrator.
The third one is empty, and the fourth and final folder contains a WingDings.ttf file, which is the only file with this name on my drive.

If you press the asterisk key (*) it will switch to :A or uppercase letter mode, pressing asterisk again with switch to lowercase letter mode. To enter a letter in either letter mode, you will press the associated number key to cycle through the available letters. For example: To enter a letter "c", you will press the "2" key three times.

  • How do I enter a 1/3 symbol?

    I know that this strictly speaking isn't 'printing' but I could not figure out where the heck to ask this.
    How to I enter a "1/3" symbol? Specifically I want to do this in Word 2008, but no amount of Googling or entering phrases into the help system has helped my in any way.
    PLEASE, can some kind soul tell me how to do this?

    If you open the System Preferences and select the International control panel, you'll see an Input Menu tab. Select that. The first three options there are Character Palettes and a Keyboard Viewer click the check marks to turn them on. At the bottom of the dialog box click on the Show Input menu. You'll now see your flag in the menu bar and if you select it you'll see options for showing the two palettes you just activated. The character palette will give you access to all those special characters like fractions and the Keyboard viewer will show you the keyboard shortcuts to many (but not all) of them.

  • How can you use symbols in Windows 7 on a IMac 27

    How can you use symbols @$€%£¥ in Windows 7 on a IMac 27 mid 2011?  I tried what was normally done on Windows and got nothing.  Alt plus numbers and nothing happens, what am I missing?

    Frosted Flake,
    Are you referring to an equivalent to the Windows Character Map Application (charmap.exe) that allowed you to see the various characters available in each font, and then give you an ALT-nnn number you could key to use the character you wanted ?
    If so you can use the Special Characters from the Edit menu of most applications. Once you have located the character/symbol you want double click it and it will be entered wherever you cursor is located in your application.

    Hope this helps

  • Entering symbols in GTK programs

    I use the spanish ISO keyboard layout, and I've noticed I cannot enter symbols that require the option key (such as \|@#¢∞{}[]€£) into GTK programs.
    If I set the swapAltMeta preference to true, I can get them with the command key, while the option key works for menu and button shortcuts, but I can't type things like £, because that uses the shift key, and command-shift-4 will make a screenshot.
    How can I get the option key to work like it does on Mac OS, for entering special characters?

    Could you respond here:

  • How do  I enter fractions say  8 1/2  where the 1/2 becomes smaller asyou would  do in Word

    How do  I enter fractions say  8 1/2  where the 1/2 becomes smaller as you would  do in Word.Currently I use size 12 for main number and size 10 for the fraction.
    Any suggestions? I am using Framemaker 9.
    thanks

    We do fractions as Variables. This works with any roman font. We do use the fraction slash (\xa4, auto-converted to §) from the Symbol set.
    Pre-requisite: make sure these Character Formats are defined:
    "Superscript" - as is except for [*] Superscript and [*] Pair Kern
    "Subscript" - as is except for [*] Subscript and [*] Pair Kern
    "Symbol" - as is except Font [Symbol] and [*] Pair Kern
    Typical Variables
    Name: fraction.500.one.half
    Definition: <Superscript>1<Default ¶ Font><Symbol>§<Default ¶ Font><Subscript>2<Default ¶ Font>
    Name: fraction.781.twenty_five.thirty_second
    Definition: <Superscript>25<Default ¶ Font><Symbol>§<Default ¶ Font><Subscript>32<Default ¶ Font>
    Doing it this way you aren't restricted to the pre-defined fractions in your fonts, or compelled to use a separate math/symbol font with a larger selection of fracs.
    You also avoid adjacent text being at risk of being rendered as super/sub. The frac is a single object, easily cut, copied and pasted without literal side effects.
    Including the decimal equivalent causes the pull-down menu list to self-sort.

  • How do I enter an itunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC?

    How do I enter an iTunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC? I don't see a place to enter my enrollment code. I also tried using the link sent to enroll but it doesn't work either.  Am I out of luck?

    As I noted in the other thread:
    There are two kinds of content available, "courses" and "collections". If you look at the iTunes U section on the iTunes Store, you'll note some are square (collection) and some have a faux wire binder and tabs (course); you can subscribe and watch collections from within iTunes, but courses only work on iOS.
    The content you see in iTunes on your PC are "collections", while your teacher has created a "course". Collections are more like podcasts, with only audio or video episodes available. Courses have more structure and richer content, including assignments and iOS-specific materials like App Store links and Pages documents.
    While the distinction is not particularly relevant for iOS users – one can subscribe to either type – it is admittedly confusing for desktop users since the distinction and terminology are not explicitly defined.
    Does that clarify matters somewhat?

    Look in the Finder's sidebar or on the desktop. If the manufacturer only allows its own software to connect to the card, consult its documentation.

  • HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone  and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

    I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I  tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

    I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
    I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

  • How to remove the '#'symbols for infoobject movement types in bex reporting

    Hi All,
      I have a problem in Bex reporting. The problem is when ever executing the report  that time some of the characteristic values is shown in layout '#' Symbols. i want to remove the '#' valuse in report.
    is it possible please give me step by step procedure for how to remove the '#' Symbols in reporing layout.
    this is very urgent please help to me on this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Guna.

    Hi Guna,
    To achieve this issue, we need to replace the value of ‘#’, we need to change the description while retrieving the data from tables. So we need to write some ABAP code in SE38. Go to RSA1 transaction and go to Info objects tab. Then go to context menu for ‘cProject Key Figures’ as shown below. Click on the ‘Object Overview’ to get the overview of all the info objects. Here you can see the field names which are used to know the table names.
    In SE11, type the table name in ‘Database Table’ field. Now press ‘F4’, then you will get the next screen to select one of the P/Q/S/T tables.
    Now click on the button rounded in the below screen to view the data in the table.
    Now click the execute button or press ‘F8’ to view the records.
    Now go to Tcode: SE38. Create a source code and give some program name for that source code. To write code, you need access key. Contact your BASIS for this.
    Now write the below code for that particular table in which you want to change the value ‘#’ to description ‘Blank’. In the below source code, we are updating particular table, setting the field as ‘Blank’ where it is null or no value. Here the field will automatically get updated to ‘#’ if there is no value or null.
    update /BIC/PXXXXX set /BIC/ZXXXX = 'Blank' where /BIC/ZXXXXX is null or /BIC/ZXXXX = ''.
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
    write 'successful'.
    commit work.
    else.
    write 'unsuccessful'.
    endif.
    OR
    If this # is because of the missing master data than,
    right click that IO -> maintain master
    you will see first row as a blank.
    whatever value you maintain in this row that will come in the report for all Not assigned # values of the master data in the report.
    maintain it according to your requirement, save and activate the master data
    Hope this helps u...
    Regards,
    KK.

  • How do I enter multiple email addresses for a Firefox Sync account?

    How do I enter my multiple email addresses for one Firefox Sync account?

    Sorry, but Address Book does not allow you to select more than one email address to send to in a group. There's really no reason why people need multiple copies of a message, anyway; they have the option of forwarding email to another email address of theirs.

  • How can I enter data in an input schedule on a member in the EPM Add-On that is not a base member?

    Hello, all,
    how can I enter data in an input schedule on a member in the EPM Add-On that is not a base member?
    E.g. I want to implement a top-down-planning scenario and I have the following hierarchy:
    Europe
         Germany
         France
         UK
         Spain
         Italy
    How can I enter a value on Europe in an input schedule in order to allocate this value afterwards?
    Thanks in advance and best regards
    Gerd

    Gerd,
    It should be something like below -
    EuropeInput
    Europe
         Germany
         France
         UK
         Spain
         Italy
    EuropeInput shall be kept out of hierarchy and should be a base level member. Users will enter the numbers in this member. In your script logic, you will make use of this member to allocate the data in Bas(Europe) i.e. Germany, France, etc.
    Effectively, after allocation the same data will be rolled up to Europe.
    Many top-down planning would use such work-around as BPC doesn't allow writing to parent node.
    Regards,
    Ashish

  • How can I enter my podcast in more than one category?  Mine covers arts, education and society and culture, but is listed as "Performing Arts".  Thank you for your time!

    How can I enter my podcast in more than one category, to reflect the fact that it covers arts, education and society and culture?  Thank you for your time!

    You can have more than one category - this page shows you how the tags are formed:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#category
    The Store will list only the first category and its sub-category at the top of the page. Like the first category, the others will in theory make your podcast available for searching by category. However searching just on the category in the iTunes Store is most unlikely to throw up your podcast. There are thousands of podcasts out there, and it would be quite impossible to display on one page the entire list for any category. What you see are 'featured' podcasts, chosen by Apple as being special; please see this Tech Note:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#getfeatured
    Note that there is no way you can influence the selection other than making your podcast really special.
    If you have further questions about making your podcast it's better to ask them in the Producing Podcasts forum.
