How to Use Alt Codes to Insert the Delta Symbol

Introduction

The Delta symbol (Δ) is a commonly used mathematical and scientific symbol. It can be inserted using an Alt code keyboard shortcut on a keyboard with a dedicated numeric keypad. In this article, we will explain how to use the Alt code keyboard shortcut to insert the Delta symbol in various applications, including web browsers and Microsoft Word.

Using the Alt Code Keyboard Shortcut

To insert the Delta symbol using the Alt code keyboard shortcut, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that your keyboard has a dedicated numeric keypad.
2. Hold down the Alt key on your keyboard.
3. While holding down the Alt key, type the number 916 (for the uppercase Delta symbol Δ) or 235 (for the lowercase Delta symbol δ) using the numeric keypad.
4. Release the Alt key, and the Delta symbol will be inserted at the current cursor position.

Note: The Alt code keyboard shortcut only works with keyboards that have a dedicated numeric keypad. If your keyboard does not have a dedicated numeric keypad, you can use alternative methods to insert the Delta symbol, such as using the Character Map utility or the Symbol dialog box in Microsoft Word.

2. Type the number 0394 (for the uppercase Delta symbol Δ) or 0394 (for the lowercase Delta symbol δ).
3. Press the Alt key and the X key simultaneously (Alt + X).

The Delta symbol will be inserted at the current cursor position.
