Unicode, Alt Codes, and Character Map

Every symbol in Microsoft Word has a unique code that you can use to insert it into your document. This code is known as Unicode. Unicode codes are universal and can be used on any computer or device that supports Unicode. For example, the Unicode for the Delta symbol (Δ) is U+0394.
