Where's the cents key?

[fuzzybuddy]

What happened to the "cents" key on computer keyboards?

 

[Butterfly]

It hasn't been there for years and years. In most word processing programs, there's a way to recreate the symbol if you have to.

 

[Falcon]

Hold the "Alt" key and type in 155. that will give you the cent symbol. 155

 

[Guitarist]

Doesn't work on my laptop, Falcon. I tried twice.

I don't think I've ever seen a cent-symbol key on a computer keyboard. Typewriters, yes, in the old days.

 

[Pookie]

Same place as the degree key is.

Here's your signs

 

[Falcon]

The degree symbol is Alt + 167

 

[Falcon]

It's 71º here right now.

I'm a big spender. I spent $2.25 at the 99¢ store.

 

[Manatee]

I have a page somewhere that tells how to do all kinds of symbols and accent marks. You can do upside down question marks if you are typing in spanish, or accent marks in french.

 

[Falcon]

Same here Manatee.

 

[Butterfly]

Same place as the degree key is.

I don't think I have a degree key. If I do, I can't find it. I have a regular Dell keyboard.

 

[Ruthanne]

I don't have the degree or cent signs.

I'm going to try what Falcon said. Didn't work for me either.

 

[Falcon]

My Dell keyboard has a number pad on the right end, like a mini-calculator.
That's the one I use when finding a special symbol. ¢ £ º ¿ ÷ ½

Don't know if it works on a laptop.

 

[Ameriscot]

I googled it and it said Alt 0162. But it didn't work for me.

Just move over here and you can simply type 'p' for pence instead.

I don't have that on my keyboard. I gave it a good looking over.
