I cam across an article that shows how to access Windows special character and language keyboard utilities. So I thought I'd have some fun with that. Some of the symbols are quite useful such as: ℉ ℃ ⅐ © .
You can access these special characters by pressing the windows + . keys. Then press the Ω icon. For the purpose of using the symbols for a carve project you need to be in the Draw Text mode when you bring up the special characters menu. Most fonts don't support all of the symbols but some of the Microsoft fonts do pretty well. For more info on how to access other cool keyboard options check out this site. https://www.theverge.com/22351023/windo ... ers-how-to and have fun.
