Step by step
  • Open a page in Word;
  • In the Word page, press and hold the Alt key is NOT "Alt gr";
  • Still holding the Alt key on the numeric keypad to enter the number corresponding to the picture you want;
  • After entering the number, release all buttons;
  • The figure corresponding to the dialed number appears on the screen.
Tips
  • Certain sequences of numbers corresponding to a number of similar figures of the same "family." For example, the symbols of the stars in our solar system, including Pluto, are from 9790-9799 except the Sun, which is in 9788, the twelve signs of the Zodiac (9800-9811), the parts of the game of Chess (9812 to 9823), crosses (10009-10016 and 10018-10021), stars (10017, the 10022-10041, and 10059), flowers (10042-10051), among other sequences;
  • Any of these symbols will turn into a different figure entered in a special sources such as webdings. But the figure that they will become will depend on the version of Word that is being used;
  • If the source is changed to a normal sources like Times to Arial, for example, will only change the style of writing, as with any common letter or number. But some symbols simply disappear in certain types of source;
  • Some of these codes can result in a type of figure in Word and when typed into a web page become another figure. If this happens, you can enter a symbol in Word, then copy it and paste it on the website. Still, some images do not appear, because in some cases there is simply no support for that format;
  • A more interesting way to use these symbols is combining two or more of them to form another figure, and can mix them with letters, accents, slashes, and modify its source in Word. You can mount from a simple and small butterfly (Alt +603 =? / Alt +139 = ° / Alt +604 =?) To a small house, car or bus. Just use your imagination.


Now that you know how to find the hidden faces and symbols on computer keyboard, just have fun looking for new symbols and use your imagination to put together different combinations between them.
It's all in your fingertips.
Good luck!
