Character Tables

The Down Arrow symbol is often set using insertion through the Symbol Table. This is a standard Windows service that is easy to work with.

To cope with the task, the user is recommended:

1. Go to the "Symbol Table" of the operating system. To do this, you will have to look into the "Standard", and from there - into the "Service".

In this way, the Up Arrow and Down Arrow characters will be inserted into the text document. A distinctive feature of this technique is the ability to select the type of performance of the sign.

Paste in Word

But this is only one of several scenarios. You can find the Down Arrow symbol differently. For example, through the built-in options "Word".

In this case, it is best to act like this:

1. Look into the Word. It is advisable to immediately open the editable document.
2. Select the "Insert" tab on the toolbar.
3. Go to "Symbol" / "Special Symbol".

5. Double-click LMB on the selected character in the menu that opens.

That's all. This method is more common in practice. It is easy to use. Use it to insert the Up Arrow symbol and more. Other special Windows characters will also be easily printed in the document.

Alt codes to help

The down arrow is often printed using ASCII codes. They are usually called Alt codes. This is a keyboard shortcut whose processing converts numbers to characters. Thus, the user is able to insert any special character into a text document. The main thing is to know the Alt code.

To put the usual (most popular among typing) down arrow, you will need:

1. Press the Num Lock button. If the corresponding mode is enabled, you can skip the step.
2. Position the cursor at the intended location for the character to appear.
3. Click on "Alt".
4. Dial code 25 on the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard.

This technique will print the "↓" sign (without quotation marks). For the "Up Arrow" symbol, you will have to use the ASCII code - 24. The result will be the "↑" icon.

Important: using the "Symbol Table" you can see the full list of Alt-codes of different arrows.

Hexadecimal codes

But this is not the end. To put the down arrow on the keyboard, some use Unicode. The hexadecimal code is processed by a text editor, after which one or another character appears in the place of the corresponding record.

In our case, you can act like this:

1. Dial U + 2191 or U + 2193. The first combination is responsible for ↑, and the second for ↓.
2. Click Alt + X (English).
