How do I type the infinity character in a web browser? [duplicate]

Ok, alternative.

What's happening is it's translating to the old windows codes instead of unicode as it's below 255.

What you need to do is go to your windows calc and enter in 221E in hex, then click on dec. It will translate it for you as 8734 in decimal.

Then, with numberlock on, enter ALT + 8734 and you'll get ∞ . It's a bit wierd but sometimes different fields interpret the codes different. For example if I do alt + 8734 here in this box I get ▲. If I do it in google chromes address field I get ∞.

Honestly the descrepency I'm not sure of, but considering I get ý in the google chrome address field by entering in 236, it should fix your specific problem.

There's always the sneaky way of doing it - google up the symbol, copy and paste. ∞ , then build an autohotkey shortcut. You can get AHK here
