Sorry, I meant "right there" on the Apple keyboard if you hold down Option + the correct key.

 

 

 

All of the marks I typed are available on iPhone by holding down the key: eg. depress/hold N = three different options for N. Typing ® will give you ®, © will give you ©, and tm will give you ™.

 

On the Apple keyboard, type the diacritic first—if it's a tilde ˜ or an accent ´, etc. and then the letter, like í, ä or ê, or ñ, ã or õ.

 

Chris! Funny! I can't get the r, c, or tm thing to work on either my iPad or iPhone. I know it works in Microsoft word, but can't quite seem to get it to work here. I know that you are quite smart in addition to being tall, so help us out! I'm running the newest version of iOS.

Ok, now you're just showing off...

Update: the ©®™ are available in the Emoji keyboard on iPad and iPhone. Nice to know! So I guess we all learned more than we needed to know via this thread, but that's what makes this place so fun and interesting. And much better than Facebook! But oops!! That's another thread!

That's weird. Mine just does it automatically.

 

Try Settings > General > Keyboards > Shortcuts and see if you can't set up stuff there. For example, I have aapl = .

Well you have greater talents than we mere mortals!!!

 

All kidding aside I can see how it can be setup, but it was not preset under shortcuts. As I noted above it is present in my Emoji keyboard so the option is a available in an alternative manner. Plus, that option can indeed be transferred into shortcuts. If I were into copy right law etc. I would most definitely set up such a shortcut. However since I'm not! I'll continue along as I have in the past.

 

However, you realize that forever I will always think of you Mr. Eisenhower when ever I see any one of these ©®™♠️♣️☑️ symbols! Not a bad thing!

I actually didn't know what an Emoji was until someone told me the other day.

I need to add one small comment to this conversation. I think that we are all nuts! Plus I have always said that you cannot spell "nuts" without a "U" in it. So that probably confirms things.

 

Interestingly the Italian word for a very pedantic and overly fastidious person is pignolo, with the "gn" in Italian being the equivalent of the Spanish ñ. For some strange reason in common American English "pignolo" is the "Italian" word used to designate a "pine nut", as in a "pignoli cookie". However, in Italian the proper word for a pine nut is pinolo.

 

In any event, I take that to mean that we are indeed all a bit nuts, and the pine nut/pedantic connection certainly confirms that.

 

Incidentally, this was posted for the benefit a certain poster who tells me that everything sounds better in italiano, and by the way he's a bit nuts as well, but like the rest of us here definitely a bit nuts in a good way!

Again it is funny that when writing I almost never end a sentence with a preposition even though I know that it is permissible. When speaking I almost always end with the proposition.

 

I recently mentioned that it was permissible to end a sentence with a preposition to a high school English teacher and she looked at me in total horror. I would guess that when a pedant is used to the pedantic all else sounds unnatural when it really is quite natural!

 

This just caught my eye today WG! Surely when speaking you almost always end with a proposition only when there is a hot young master or sub you are speaking with!!! HA!

LOL! Well I can't take credit for the witty result of that statement. I'm quite sure that it was a spell-check induced. However, I like to think that it was in actuality a parapraxis, of which I'm been having quite a few of late! I guess it says something about what's really going on in the deep recesses of my mind! That actually makes me feel somewhat relieved! I may outwardly be becoming a bit senile, but at least the "behind-the-scenes" activity reveals that I really have not totally lost it. At least not just yet that is! So there's hope! I hope!

Now that brings back great memories AdamSmith! Forbidden Planet, based Shakespeare's play The Tempest! I still watch it once in a while. When I first saw it, (on TV, in the early 60's) I remember I had such a crush on Jack Kelly (at the time in Maverick with a hot, young James Garner!) It's funny because when I watch it now, I find the young Leslie Nielson more attractive, so my tastes have obviously changed a bit!

Absolutely same here!! Must be wisdom that comes with age.

 

I still lovingly watch it from time to time too. My favorite SF film of all, save only St. Kubrick's masterwork.
