For example, "Jermaine Jackson - Letīs Get It On.mp3", I copy this from some filename.

How to type that character on a standard window keyboard, the opposite of " ` ", the symbol right before the character "s" in the above title, " Let's ", mirror image of ` ?

Just curious, what kind of programming language people like to use that symbol? I encountered in some filename and cannot search or replace it from a batch job!

and how about on the N8x0 keyboard?

Sorry about this dumb and 'un'interesting post, this has been bothering me for several months.

TIA,

bun

If you're in Windows: Alt+0180 will do it. Dunno if there's an easier way (save for copy and paste ).

And, on a tablet, the standard symbol input method has it.

As usual, qwerty12 got it before anybody else. This forum is so fortuntate to have you around!

It worked. How do I generate or print a copy to find out the "rest" of the strange characters or how do you do it? I have tried one by one, and sure not very efficient
Boy, that has bothered me for soooooo long, thanks again, qwerty12!

Edit: How come Alt+182 and Alt+20 is the same symbol? Is there any equation one can use to generalize this? I only know ASCII 128, and what does this called, extended or unicode or what?

TIA,

bun

If you use Character Map (Should be in Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools), you can locate and click the symbol that you are looking for and it should tell you the key sequence you have to press.

Thanks, again.
I have been programming many many years and author of one published program even before MS Access, and have seen that 'char map' since window 3.1 and never know what is that for. Now I know. There is always a reason for something to be there .
