Quickly find and insert special characters into Google Docs, Slides, and Drawings
August 26th, 2014 | Published in Google Docs, Google Apps
We have launched a new version of the special character picker in Google Docs, Slides, and Drawings, making it easier for people to find characters and symbols—like arrows, shapes, or non-Latin characters—to insert into their content.
The new picker now supports keyword search as well as free form input, so editors can draw the symbol that they have in mind and the picker will return available characters that resemble the drawing.
To add special characters, click the Insert menu and select Special characters.
Release track:
Rapid release, with Scheduled release coming in two weeks
