    Hi sinnombre,

    Sure, I can help you with that.

    You can find the hotkeys for Windows at : Keyboard shortcuts - Windows Help

    For special symbols you can refer to this webpage : Alt Codes List of Alt Key Codes Symbols

    Also you can find Special symbols in the Character Map of your Windows computer.

    Regards,

    Hi sinnombre,

    Please let me know the version of operating system installed on your computer.

    In case if it is a windows operation system you can use the direct key to insert the symbol :-

    Upwards Arrow : Alt + 24

    Downward Arrow : Alt + 25

    Rightward Arrow : Alt + 26

    Leftward Arrow : Alt + 27


    In case if you still have any query please let us know. We will be happy to help you.


    Regards,

    Aadesh

        Open the Character Map (charmap) application and copy them from there.
