Video Explaining How to Insert Special Symbols

This video explains 7 ways to insert a special symbol into an MS Office application (e.g., Word) or a website using HTML, CSS, or JavaScript:

How To Insert the 𝆷 Symbol

(Method 1) Copy and paste the symbol.

Click on the 𝆷 symbol from the table above. Press the "Copy" button, and then paste the symbol into your document.

(Method 2) Use the "Alt Code."

The Alt Code for 𝆷 is Alt 119223. If you have a keyboard with a numeric pad, you can use this method. Simply hold down the Alt Key and type 119223. When you lift the Alt Key, 𝆷 appears. ("Num Lock" must be on.)

(Method 3) Use the HTML Decimal Code (for webpages).

HTML TextOutput
𝆷𝆷

(Method 4) Use the HTML Entity Code (for webpages).

HTML TextOutput
none𝆷

(Method 5) Use the CSS Code (for webpages).

CSS and HTML TextOutput
<style>
span:after {
content: "\1D1B7";}
</style>
<span>Symbol:</span>
Symbol: 𝆷

(Method 6) Use the HTML Hex Code (for webpages and HTML canvas).

HTML TextOutput
&#x1D1B7;𝆷
On the assumption that you already have your canvas and the context set up, use the Hex code in the format 0x1D1B7 to place the 𝆷 symbol on your canvas. For example:
JavaScript Text
const x = "0x"+"1D1B7"
ctx.fillText(String.fromCodePoint(x), 5, 5);
Output

𝆷

(Method 7) Use the Unicode (for various, e.g. Microsoft Office, JavaScript, Perl).

The Unicode for 𝆷 is U+1D1B7. The important part is the hexadecimal number after the U+, which is used in various formats. For example, in Microsoft Office applications (e.g. Word, PowerPoint), do the following:
TypeOutput
1D1B7
[Hold down Alt]
[Press x]
𝆷
(Note that you can omit any leading zeros.)
In JavaScript, the syntax is \uXXXX. So, \u1D1B7 wouldn't work in JavaScript because it is a 5-character hexadecimal number. To insert this character in JavaScript, the UTF-16 format (\uXXXX\uXXXX) is needed.
JavaScript TextOutput
let str = "\uXXXX\uXXXX"
document.write("My symbol: " + str)
My symbol: 𝆷
Read more about converting characters with a code place higher than 0x10000 (like this one) to the so-called UTF-16 format.

(Method 8) Use an Image (for various).

HTML TextOutput
<img src = "myImg.png"/>𝆷
