Hello, I want to add a contact email in my video. But for some reason the @ symbol wont show up in the graphic when i type it. Have anybody else had this problem before? Im using a Norwegian keyboard, so i need to press Alt Gr + 2 to get @. I dont have a problem writing it here, only when I want to add it premiere pro.

    ultimately the alphabet and symbols are ascii code dedicated to that range of stuff universally. I've had a need to generate some stupid symbol ( letter with weird snake thing on top ? , or some Latin type thing...whatever.) I can use the ascii code ( on pc ) copy it to notepad and then paste it into program usually ( where the program is dealing with text ).

      p.s. 

      I'm talking about stuff that isn't even ON your keyboard .... so you can certainly do it for stuff that is there on keyboard... it doesn't matter really. you can make the thing if the font has it built in or you can use a font that is 'neuteral' ( sarif or sans sarif ) , like Arial, or ny times roman, just for that symbol.

        Beware not all fonts display @

        What font are you using.

         

        Shortcut/numlock: alt+64

        if you're on a mac, you might want to open the font in fontbook (an app included with the mac os) and validate the font.  Font's can get corrupted...  Have no idea how to do it on a windowze machine.

          Have you tried copying and pasting the symbol? Which font are you using? Some fonts, particularly unusual fonts do not include certain symbols.

          Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes it worked copying and pasting the symbol, but its weird thats the only way to do it. (as I`ve seen so far) Im using Calibri Ligth, is that font known for not including special symbols?

          Hmm, no, Calibri Light is a very popular and common typeface and should certainly include the @ symbol. Additionally, if you are able to copy/paste, that would rule out it being a missing symbol.

          Out of interest, if you switch font, are you then able to type @? It would be worth trying, just to rule out it being a glitch with the fonts themselves.
