How to Put an Angstrom Symbol in Microsoft Equation Editor

[tony873004]

I'm trying to put an Angstrom symbol into a microsoft Word document. It's a capital A with a little circle over it. But what is that character called? It's not a greek symbol, I don't think.

Does anyone know how to put it in Microsoft Equation Editor, or even what it's called so I can look it up in the Equation Editor Help (it doesn't contain the word angstrom)

You can just copy it from Windows' character map.

It's a Swedish/Finnish letter. There's three different letters in the Scandinavian alphabet: Å å, Ä ä, Ö ö.

I suppose you could just copy and paste it out of this post.

In my version of Word, if you go into the symbol menu, it's right among the "normal" characters, just a few after the regular alphabet ends.

Minor correction: only the Swedish and Finnish alphabets have the the additional letters ÅÄÖ. The Danish and Norwegian have other characters för Ä and Ö (I also believe they list them in a different order).

The Å is pronounced much like an "o", by the way.

Ö and ö are essentially German...

And how does that interfere with the fact that in the Scandinavian languages, only the Swedish and Finnish alphabets contain Ö?

 

[dextercioby]

It doesn't.I felt like someone which knows zip about German language/alphabet might think the character would be encountered in Finnish and Swedish only,fact which is UNTRUE...

BTW,the French use the "¨" as well.But not on "o"...

I am trying to think of a word in french that has an "umlaut" in it...hmmm...

"Ambiguïté" and "noël" perhaps?
