[help]Knowing the key of a character in a font

[Pablo Sánchez Carbonell]

Hi.

I would be very grateful if somepeople could tell me how I can know the key
to type a character from a true type font. For instance, I would know what
is the key (in the keybord) to type an infinite if I selected the symbol
font in word, i.e. is there any application to see the mapping of keys of
the keyboard to characters of the font

Thank you very much.

Use "Character Map", it's a standard windows accessory that everyone
should know about, but almost no one does. It allows you to get to
every character available in every font.

Start / Programs / Accessories / System Tools / Character Map

In my opinion this is not a "system tool"; it lets you print things like
math symbols, copyright and registered trademark symbols, etc.
