GD&T short-cut keys

The problem with having your own special font is that if you email a word or excel document to someone who doesn't have the font they just see goofy characters.
I have found out how to compose some characters but its not everything and they don't work in all programs:
Ø diameter symbol alt- 0216
┴ perpendicular alt- 193
∩ profile of a line alt- 239

Also including a few other useful symbols:
¢ cents, (use for centerline) alt- 0162
° degrees alt- 0176
± plus or minus alt- 0177or 241
¼ one quarter alt- 0188
½ one half alt- 0189
¾ three quarters alt- 0190
÷ division alt- 0247
↨ alt- 23
↑ alt- 24
↓ alt- 25
→ alt- 26
← alt- 27
alt- 29
π Pi alt- 227
Σ sum alt- 228
σ sigma alt- 229
µ Micro or Mu alt- 230
Ω Omega alt- 234
∞ Infinity alt- 236
≥ Greater than or equal alt- 242
≤ Less than or equal alt- 243
≈ Approximately equal alt- 247
√ square root or check mark alt- 251

More geometric but these are Unicode and require an extra technique to insert:
hold down the Alt key, press + on the num-key pad, type key combo:
use for mmc alt-24c2
Ⓛ use for lmc alt-24c1
Ⓢ use for RFS alt- 24c8
Ⓞ circled capital O, use for concentricity alt- 24C4
⌾ concentricity alt- 233e
⌖ position alt- 2316
⌭ cylindricity alt- 232d
⌯ symmetry alt- 232f
⌰ total runout alt- 2330
⌴ counterbore alt- 2334
⌵ countersink alt- 2335
⌒ Arc use for profile alt- 2312
⌓ segment use for profile alt- 2313
another useful non-geometric:
Δ Delta alt- 0394

A lot of the Unicode symbols small, but often you can just make that character a larger font size and it may work for you.
you can copy & paste these into an excel or word file for reference.
