You can insert special characters in your documents and presentations without having to remember all those Alt-codes by using Google Docs and Slides easy-to-use character insertion tool. It offers a myriad of symbols, characters, symbols, languages, and more. Here’s how you can insert special characters into your documents.
Note: You can’t insert characters directly into Google Sheets, but you can copy and paste them into a cell on the spreadsheet.
How to Insert Special Characters into Google Docs and Slides
Inserting symbols into your file is a straightforward process that you can perform in several ways. Whether you want some silly emojis, arrows, or a different language’s scripts you can achieve this by manually selecting a category, typing in the search bar, or by drawing what you’re looking for.
The first thing you’ll need to do is open up a new Google Docs or Slides file to get started.
Alternatively, if you’re using the latest version of Chrome, you can type “docs.new” or “slides.new” into a new tab’s address bar.
In your document, open the “Insert” menu and then click the “Special Characters” command.
Manually Search for Symbols
If you don’t have a particular character in mind (or you’re not sure how to search for what you do have in mind), you can use the drop-down menus to browse through the plethora of available symbols.
