Video Explaining How to Insert Special Symbols

This video explains 7 ways to insert a special symbol into an MS Office application (e.g., Word) or a website using HTML, CSS, or JavaScript:

How To Insert the ≅ Symbol

(Method 1) Copy and paste the symbol.

Click on the ≅ symbol from the table above. Press the "Copy" button, and then paste the symbol into your document.

(Method 2) Use the "Alt Code."

The Alt Code for ≅ is Alt 8773. If you have a keyboard with a numeric pad, you can use this method. Simply hold down the Alt Key and type 8773. When you lift the Alt Key, ≅ appears. ("Num Lock" must be on.)

(Method 3) Use the HTML Decimal Code (for webpages).

HTML Text	Output
≅	≅

(Method 4) Use the HTML Entity Code (for webpages).

HTML Text	Output
≅	≅

(Method 5) Use the CSS Code (for webpages).

CSS and HTML Text	Output
<style> span:after { content: "\2245";} </style> <span>Symbol:</span>	Symbol: ≅

(Method 6) Use the HTML Hex Code (for webpages and HTML canvas).

HTML Text	Output
≅	≅

On the assumption that you already have your canvas and the context set up, use the Hex code in the format 0x2245 to place the ≅ symbol on your canvas. For example:

JavaScript Text
const x = "0x"+"2245" ctx.fillText(String.fromCodePoint(x), 5, 5);
Output
≅

(Method 7) Use the Unicode (for various, e.g. Microsoft Office, JavaScript, Perl).

The Unicode for ≅ is U+2245. The important part is the hexadecimal number after the U+, which is used in various formats. For example, in Microsoft Office applications (e.g. Word, PowerPoint), do the following:

Type	Output
2245[Hold down Alt][Press x]	≅(Note that you can omit any leading zeros.)

In JavaScript, the syntax is \uXXXX. So, our example would be \u2245. (Note that the format is 4 hexadecimal characters.)

JavaScript Text	Output
let str = "\u2245"document.write("My symbol: " + str)	My symbol: ≅

(Method 8) Use an Image (for various).

HTML Text	Output
<img src = "myImg.png"/>	≅
