anyway when I try Alt+0252 i get ü which is what I was getting with U+7213. Lol I was going by the last post date and not the first. unfortunately it's something most of us just type, when necessary, not thinking about the fact that we know it's to indicate a Unicode character and not an actual keystroke. I understand the confusion regarding the U+. My current keyboard doesn't have a numeric keypad, so I can't verify that is a checkmark, but a Google search brought that up.

Ya I know I'm 2 years late but I was looking for the answer today. I was hoping the U+2713 was a shortcut by keyboard. I did find Special Characters under Insert but that's like reading a dictionary before you can find what your looking for. I mean this is making a check mark on OpenOffice right? Mrprogrammer said in his post that U is Unicode. So I am assuming U is meaning something else but hay I can't figure it out. I know holding the alt key and than the number will give the symbol but I get different symbols. If i type U+2713 than that's what I get exactly what I type.
When I see U+2713 It tells me to hold the U key down and type 2713 but of course all that does is spam U's across the page. I am always complex when someone answers a question with something that does not work when using common sense. RGB wrote:Most fonts have these characters:
