The question mark is a common punctuation symbol. Usually it serves to indicate interrogative sentences or unknown data. How to put a question mark while typing on a computer? Possible scenarios for the development of events will be proposed below. Each user is able to cope with the task in different ways. The main thing is to find out some data about the chosen symbols.
Keyboard input: method 1
The question mark photo can be inserted into any text document. Then a separate image will appear in the file. It cannot be used as a punctuation mark in sentences, so this technique is not suitable for editing text. We'll have to find another way out.
Fortunately, there is. The Question Mark character can be typed directly on the keyboard. For this you will need:
- Enable Russian keyboard layout.
- Press "Shift".
- Press the button 7 on the top of the keypad.
It's done. After the described manipulations, the symbol "?" will appear in the text. But this is only the beginning. Users canact differently.
Keyboard input: method 2
For example, use the second keyboard shortcut to get the desired result. It is proposed to insert question marks instead of letters manually.
Here is the second trick that is actively used in practice:
- Switch to English keyboard typing.
- Press the "Shift" key.
- Click on the button located near Enter (bottom left). It usually has a dot on it. The control is to the left of Shift.
That's it. A question mark will be printed in the place where the cursor was. This way you can replace some letters and other symbols.
Windows Options
The "Question mark" symbol is proposed to be inserted into text documents using the "Symbol table". This is a standard Windows service where you can see all the special characters and their codes on various systems.
It is recommended to proceed approximately as follows:
- Search on your computer and open the "Character Map" application. It can be found through the search bar in the "Start".
- Switch to Times New Roman.
- Find the thumbnail of the question mark and double-click on it with the left mouse button.
- Press the control called "Copy".
- Enter a text editor by placing the cursor in one place or another on the sheet.
- Press "Control" + M (Russian), or RMB + "Paste".
Nothing else needed. If you follow the instructions, you can insert any character into the text, not necessarily a question mark. This is the more common technique.
Means in Word
But it is not final. If desired, users are able to use the Word toolkit. There is a service responsible for inserting various characters.
To use this method, you will need:
- Log in to Word.
- Click on "Insert"-"Symbol".
- Select the question mark in the menu that appears. It is in Times New Roman.
- Double click on the thumbnail of the corresponding symbol.
You can close the window and then look at the result. The performed actions will lead to the printing of a particular character in the specified place. In our case, a question mark. Fast and very convenient!
ASCII combinations
The question mark is proposed to be inserted into a text document using ASCII codes. They are called Alt codes. Short number combinations help you print special characters quickly. Even those that are not on the default keyboard.
To cope with the task, in our case, you need to act like this:
- Turn on the "Nam Lok" mode. Without it, other manipulations are useless.
- Place the cursor in the intended locationputting down a question mark.
- Press "Alt".
- Dial on the digital panel code - 63.
- Release held keys.
What's next? Thus, users quickly insert special characters into text documents. Consider the last scenario.
Hex code
The question mark symbol has its own code in the Unicode system. If you figure it out, you can insert the corresponding character into the text in a couple of seconds.
To print a question mark, you will need to follow these steps:
- Write code U+003F. This must be done at the location of the intended location of the symbols.
- Press "Alt" and Ch on the keyboard (in Russian or English - it doesn't matter).
Worth a look at the result. During processing, "Unicode" will be converted to a character.
