Keyboard: Make sun sign ☼ - Here's how
Many special characters such as the sun symbol ☼ cannot be found on the keyboard. Nevertheless, you can enter it with a key combination or insert it into your texts in another way.
Enter the sun sign using the keyboard
You can only enter the sun symbol ☼ on keyboards with a number pad.
- To do this, hold down the [Alt] key to the left of the spacebar.
- At the same time, press the numbers 1 and 5 in succession on the number pad in the right-hand area of the keyboard. Hold down the Alt key.
- Note: Please note that the number pad must be activated for the shortcut to work. You can do this with the [Num] key.
Copy the sun sign and paste it using the keyboard
If you don't have a number pad on your keyboard, you can simply copy the symbol into the clipboard.
- The easiest way is to mark the sun symbol ☼ here and press the key combination [Ctrl] + [C]. You can then paste the character elsewhere with [Ctrl] + [V].
- Alternatively, click on the Windows symbol at the bottom left and enter the term "Character table" in the Windows search. Open the program of the same name and look for the sun symbol in it. Then click on "Select" and "Copy".
