Does anyone know why computer keyboards do not have a cents button? They have the $ sign but no cents sign. I ve always wondered this, anyone have any ideas?
I fail to see the problem. They made an easy to remember keyboard shortcut <CTRL>+<ALR>+<SHIFT>+C = ¢ </SARCASM> Honestly, I don't know.
I bet if we were more knowledgable about the early days of typewriters and when the QWERTY layout was developed (don't remember what the competing layout was that lost to QWERTY), we might have a better understanding.
¢ is achieved by holding the ALT+0162 ± is achived by holding ALT+0177 they didnt take them away at all
Wow! That's so convenient to remember that I'll just keep typing Cent or Cents if I'm in plural mode. LOL
Our keyboard is relatively easy to use. Try finding the @ symbol on a french keyboard (or a . ) Ruben
Alt + 0176 = ° (Degrees) Alt + 0162 = ¢ Alt + 0188 = ¼ Alt + 0189 = ½ Alt + 0190 = ¾ Alt + 0178 = ¹ Alt + 0178 = ² Alt + 0179 = ³ Alt + 0163 = £ Alt + 0169 = © Alt + 0174 = ® Alt + 0165 = ¥ Alt + 0177 = ± Alt + 0247 = ÷ Alt + 0166 = ¦ Alt + 0149 = • Alt + 0134 = † Alt + 0227 = ã Alt + 0151 = — (m dash) Alt + 0150 = – (n dash) Alt + 0191 = ¿ Alt + 0161 = ¡ Alt + 0209 = Ñ Alt + 0241 = ñ Alt + 0225 = á Alt + 0233 = é Alt + 0237 = í Alt + 0243 = ó Alt + 0250 = ú Alt + 0252 = ü Alt + 0186 = ° (1° = primero) Alt + 0170 = ² (2² = segunda)
Why would anyone need a not upside question mark? ¿...and how can you really tell which one is upside down? It actually makes a lot of sense when you get down to it. You know the sentence is a question BEFORE you start reading it ... not AFTER.
for when you are typing a question in spanish. they place an upside down question mark before the quesion and a normal one after the question.
