Make special and unique symbols using keyboard


I have came to know about some special symbols which we can make using our keyboard easily. Well, they aren’t on the keyboard by default, but if you will press some combination of keys from the keyboard then they will be appear. They are surely interesting. And you can use all of them to anywhere, on internet too.

Now let me start. First make sure that you have on your num lock from your keyboard. Means you should able to type those numbers from your keyboard. Now let’s start with some basic numbers. Press ‘Alt’ and then numbers one by one. Means first press Alt and with that press 1 number and then leave both of them. Do it for every number and see what you are getting.

For example, you will get: Alt+1 = ☺
Alt+2=☻
Alt+3=♥
Alt+4=♦
Alt+5=♣
Alt+6=♠, etc.

So check out all the numbers. I am sure you will found different interesting symbols using different numbers which you can use anywhere.

Now let me tell you about few special numbers which are little harder to remember, but surely they are important. Trick is the same. Here are they:

Alt+0153=™ (here you don’t need to press all together, just hold your finger on Alt button and then press those numbers one by one by holding Alt)
Similarly, Alt+0169=©
Alt+0174=®
Alt+0176=° (degree)
Alt+11= (male)
Alt+12= (female)
Alt+15=
Alt+24/5/6/7 = ↑/↓/→/← (press 24,25… one by one to get different symbol)

So this is it. There are many more. And you can find out by yourself by pressing different number one by one.

Photography lover


This article is all about photography, can be handy for all Photography lovers. 

We all know that a perfect camera is needed for a right kind of photo according to need of a person and his knowledge about photography along with its finer points. I am not an expert on photography but with a long experience of photography and my willingness to learn I would like to share a few tips with you.


These tips could come in handy for you especially if you are on social media sites and wiling to share your photos with your friends and followers to let them have some of the fun. This certainly is a good idea to keep clicking at the right opportunities and upload them. However, you should know the fact that not every camera is worth for every occasion so to find the best results you could try these if you really a photography freak-

1-      Canon Power Shot S-10 is one of the first cameras that come to my mind while I think about amateur photographers. This is next version of S-100 from Cannon but with many added facility of Wi-Fi, which enables you to connect it with any printer, tablet, and phone with Wi-Fi facility available for free with any compatible application.

2-       The camera with 3” LCD provides a useful touch screen included with a touch shutter feature that helps prevent shake of the hands while clicking. This feature improves the quality of photos to a great extent.  

3-      Cannon Power Shot S-10 is capable of providing good results in bad/dim light. The camera has amazing outdoor shooting capacity with high-definition shooting power and its 5x optical zoom, which is equivalent to 24-120mm lens.

Finally, the camera with so many qualities is an asset to the photographers for their outdoor as well their indoor activities and is as good a camera as professional photographers use although the cost is within the easy reach.
