computer tips. how to make symbols

File this under stupid stuff I am too lazy to figure out and just stumbled on. But anyway. Here are "accent codes" for Mac that I've wondered about for a really long time.

Next, there's the equally essential cents symbol. You know, like, when people post on discussions and don't know how to say, "...just my 2¢"? Option(ALT) 4.

Now, what got me onto this question was the fact that it's 10º F outside. Option(ALT) 0 will do the trick.

Oh yeah... to make a little heart on FB and Google Chat, it's < 3 . ♥

(...cut and paste works wonders, too.)

Here's the complete geeks guide. Now go take some pictures.
