Next, paste the special character (press Ctrl + V or Cmd + V combo) into the With box. This character or set of characters will be substituted by the special character whenever you type them into a document.
Step 4: Insert any character on your keyboard (preferably a combo of characters) into the Replace box. Step 3: Open the Tools menu, and then click Preferences. Step 2: Copy the special character to your clipboard. Step 1: Insert a special character into a document as you would normally do. It requires a bit of work to set up, but once you have it in place, inserting frequently-used special characters should be a breeze. Automatic SubstitutionĪn even faster way to insert any special character is to use the Automatic Substitution functionality in Google Docs. You may want to commit the Unicode values of frequently-used special characters to memory. Next time, simply insert the letters and numbers to the end of the Unicode value (omit ‘U +’) into the search box for faster filtering. You should see the unicode value, something in the form of U + xxxx. First, filter the character, and then place the cursor over it. If you don’t want to go through the hassle of having to repeatedly search for or draw a special character, use its Unicode value instead. It works incredibly well, so do try it out. Perform a rough sketch of the character - doesn’t have to be perfect - within the blank box underneath the search bar, and Google Docs will automatically filter the characters that closely match what you’ve drawn.
Unable to locate a certain character with the filter menus or search box? Why not search for it by drawing it instead? Then it’s business as usual - use the filter menus or the search box to find the special character that you want. If you use Google Docs on a Mac, the key combo gets slightly longer - Ctrl + Option + I + C.
Instead, use the Alt + I + C key combo to get to the Insert Special Characters box faster. To get to the Insert Special Characters box in Google Docs, you must first open the Insert menu and then click Special Characters.
