How to Use Alt Codes

PDF download Download Article
  1. If you want to type a symbol without copying and pasting, you can use the 10-key numeric keypad on your keyboard to enter the alt code listed below each sign in our list . If you don’t have a numeric keypad, use an HTML code or Unicode, or copy and paste the symbols instead.
  2. To turn on number lock, press the Num lock (or similar) key on your keyboard. You might have to hold down Fn as you press the key if it shares its function with something else. [18]
  3. Just scroll up to the symbol code list to find the alt code for your sign or planet symbol. [19]
    • For example, if you want to type the Taurus symbol, the alt code you'll need is Alt + 9801 .
  4. For example, if you want to place your symbol in an email message, click the mouse to place the cursor where you want the symbol to appear. [20]
    • Important note: Alt code shortcuts for zodiac text symbols will only work on Microsoft Office platforms, like Word and PowerPoint.
  5. If you're using a PC, make sure you're typing on your numeric keypad. Continue to hold down Alt as you type each character in order. [21]
    • For example, to type a Taurus symbol, hold down the Alt or Option key, press and release 9 , then 8 , then 0 , then 1 . After typing the last character, lift your finger from Alt or Option to show the symbol.
    • Make sure you're typing the numbers on the numeric keypad (or your laptop's embedded numeric keypad). Don't try using the number row at the top of your keyboard, as that won't work.
    • On a Mac , you'll use the Option key in place of Alt . However, some of the alt codes won't work on a Mac. If you can't use this method on your Mac, you can copy and paste the symbols above or use Unicode .

  1. First, find the Unicode value for the zodiac symbol you want to type in the list above . Then, type the part of the code that comes after "U +" only. For example, to type the Aquarius symbol, type 2652 . Finally, simultaneously press Alt + X on the keyboard. The symbol should then appear. [22]
    • Note: Most Windows apps will automatically convert the 12 astrological signs to emojis when you use Unicode. Other astrology Unicode symbols, such as planets, will appear as regular text characters. If something looks off, try using alt codes, HTML codes, or copy and paste instead.
  2. To insert Unicode symbols on a Mac, you'll need to enable the Unicode Hex Input Keyboard. Here's what you'll need to do: [23]
    • Click the Apple menu and select System Settings (Ventura & later) or System Preferences (Monterey and earlier).
    • Click Keyboard .
    • Click Text input or Input Sources , depending on your operating system.
    • Click Edit and + , if using macOS Ventura or later.

    • Find the Unicode value for the zodiac symbol you want in the list above .
    • Click the input menu in your Mac's menu bar and select Unicode Hex Input .
    • Hold down the Option key while typing the part of the code after the "U+."

  1. If you want to use the zodiac text symbol on your website, in a forum post, or virtually anywhere else on the web, you can do so just by typing or pasting the HTML code for a symbol into your text. [24]
    • While the code you type will still look like a string of random characters in your editor, it'll automatically turn into the astrological symbol once it's live on your website.
    • Most web browsers will automatically attempt to display zodiac HTML codes as emojis, now that emojis are so popular. If you're really opposed to having the emoji version of a sign on your website, it's best to copy and paste the symbol instead.

      Tips

      • When you copy and paste or type in these symbols, they may appear differently in different apps and web browsers (or convert to their emoji version). Occasionally, you may even see squares or strange symbols in place of the ones you expect. If this happens, you might need to try a different method—i.e., copy + paste, Unicode, alt codes, or HTML code. Whatever you didn’t just try!
