To insert symbols or kaomoji on Windows 10, use these steps: Open a text file, document, or email. Use the Windows key + (period) or Windows key + (semicolon) keyboard shortcut to open the emoji panel. Click the Omega button to access the symbols. (Or the character face button to access the available kaomoji.)

You can insert any or all of these codes/characters (individually) with one easy combination keystroke: the Alt key+ the decimal code on the numeric keypad (note that the numbers across the top of your keyboard do not work)—or you can use the Symbols Library.

Place your screen cursor on the location where you want to insert the special character. Press and hold down the Alt key on the left side of the keyboard. On the numeric keypad, type the sequence of numbers (decimal code point value) that corresponds to the character you want to insert. Release the Alt key.

To insert an ASCII character, press and hold down ALT while typing the character code. For example, to insert the degree (º) symbol, press and hold down ALT while typing 0176 on the numeric keypad. You must use the numeric keypad to type the numbers, and not the keyboard.
