Help finding a site

I am trying to find a site that tells me how to make the 'cent' sign and the 'one half' sign for fractions by pushing certain numbers. I don't know what this is called so I don't know what to search for.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Angie

I was just looking for that site a few weeks ago! I was incensed that it wasn't on our keyboards....
Had the flu, sorry about not answering that one yet.
Is this it?
http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/isonum.html
Or this?
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/currency_symbols.html
Or this?

Hi Tim,

Thanks so much. I think this is what I am looking for but they are not working for me.

I have found the cent sign but no others yet. This works for me: Hold down ALT and hit 411 on the numberpad and release ALT.

I'll go back to the site you gave me and try some more.

Thanks again and hope you are feeling better.

Hi,
If you are using MS Word, try this:

1) For ½, simply type 1 then / then 2 and press SPACE. It will automatically convert to 1/2.

2) If by the cent sign you mean this, ©, press CTRL + ALT + C. This will generate that sign.

Hope that helps.

NPP
