I wasn’t talking about that kind of code, but hey, I’ll tackle this one. I’m assuming you’re using Windows, correct? Well, you only have around 106 keys on your keyboard. There are many more symbols in the world than your alpha-numerics and general puncuation (like bullets, those accented characters used in foreign languages and cyrillic characters, etc). The only way to get them to come out of your keyboard is through keystroke combinations, or the Character Map program (if it’s installed on your computer, it’ll be under Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools – although it may be right under Accessories). In Windows, those keystrokes involve the Alt key. If you were writing HTML, you can do the same thing using the ampersand, then the pound key, a short string of numbers and then a semi-colon – like • would produce •. There’s a incomplete list available here. Hope that helps clear up any confusion you may have.
