Polneiman 1 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Hi all! I would like to know how I can solve the following: I need to create an "astrological diary" in which I must insert astrological symbols (planets, signs of the zodiac, etc). Any advice on how to do it? I attached an example Thanks in advance! Link to comment

That's a good idea. Text substitution is built into my Mac and iPad I type "sun,," and get ☉ (I use ,, as the terminator for my substitution phrases) Link to comment

Text substitution is built into my Mac and iPad I type "sun,," and get ☉ (I use ,, as the terminator for my substitution phrases) Didin't work properly for me. Installed and configured AutoHotKey succesfully. First, i can't type "Ctrl+sun" or words (ideal), just letters (like "Ctrl+s" I.E.) Second, i try to set the ☉ symbol in the script copying from the character map but when i paste the symbol i obtain "AA". Link to comment

I'm not the local AutoHotKey expert around here; maybe one of tose will chime in. You could also try the AutoHotKey forums here: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/ Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 10,331 Posted December 18, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted December 18, 2019 Windows actually has its own emoji keys - see https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/10762/windows-use-on-screen-keyboard for how to get to them. You get a keyboard icon in the system tray to the bottom right. Clicking that opens keyboard which (in the case of non touch-screens) will allow you to use a mouse to select characters. There's an emoji option on the keyboard, but I have no idea at present (working in Linux currently) whether these symbols are featured. There's also the Alt+<code> option which you may find will work for you... https://altcodeunicode.com/alt-codes-planet-moon-phase-astrological-symbols/ (AHK or Phrase Express would speed that up if necessary... ) Hope that helps.
