DaveRo Tech: obscure characters app native to Win10+ (33) RE: Tech: obscure characters app native to Win10+ 02 Sep 24

Back to the OP.

My wife has Win 10.The other day she was trying to enter 'O2' (the UK phone operator) into Excel. After trying various keyboard combinations (she found O2) she gave it up and entered 'O2'.

I just mentioned this window + dot thing and indeed there is a subscript 2, so she entered O2 into the field at the top of the Excel screen. Fine - except that it doesn't appear in the cell itself which has O followed by a box - which probably means unprintable. She also tried the superscript 2: that resulted in O" (which happens to be shift 2 on a UK keyboard).

She was unimpressed. The line stays as O2.
