Wow, Those are really very good keyboard shortcuts for those who regularly send billing related emails. I was only aware of the £ symbol shortcut till now but now I have some more added from this thread.

Thanks for all them sanderson - will definitely find they useful. The £ has never been trouble for me though - I always press Shift and 3 at the same time and it does it on my keyboard - but stuff like the copyright and trademark ones I am always finding it hard to insert and have to copy and paste like you said.

Hey David,
You must have set the input language to English[UK]. But for most of the users it is International English [US by default]. With these default settings, they get...

shift+3 = #

Shift+4 = $

It's great to know that you found other keys useful. I forgot to mention [edited] that these signs are typed using [US] international input language/keyboard.

Thanks for your input.

shift + 3 = £
shift + 4 = $
alt gr + 4 = €

Yeh, I have the UK QWERTY keyboard setting here, so adding a £ sign is not a problem.

DPS Computing, I hope you don't push Alt + 0169 to get a copyright symbol in your webpages, you should just at © in your pages instead - but if it's for documents or other things I can completely understand.

what if you put "Alt + 0169" directly on the website hosting and ask Visitors to find out its meaning from their keyboard ?

One who will copy your content will copy "Alt + 0169" as well
