As you may already know, there are several dual-purpose keys on the Windows keyboard. That is to say that there are symbols readily available as second keys on the keyboard. Just by pressing two or more keys simultaneously, you can easily insert such a symbol into your document. For example, pressing shift + 1 keys give you the exclamation (!) mark.

However, other symbols aren’t printed on the keyboard as second keys. This makes it difficult to type. One of these symbols is the up-pointing triangle symbol text (▲).

Typing becomes very difficult for you if you need to add some of these symbols regularly into your document. But it doesn’t have to be difficult. Especially now that you are reading this detailed step-by-step guide.

How to Make Up-pointing triangle symbol/emoji on your keyboard?

Now, I will show you all the easy ways to type or insert up-pointing triangle symbol anywhere on your Windows PC (such as Word or Excel, or PowerPoint).

Without any further delay, below are the methods explained in detail.

Method #1: Typing an Up-pointing triangle symbol/emoji on keyboard

Using Alt code Shortcut for Up-pointing triangle symbol for Windows

Windows has several shortcuts for symbols, some of which work only in Microsoft Word. However, there’s a Windows shortcut for the up-pointing triangle symbol that works across all applications. It is the alt code shortcut which is Alt+30.

Now, I’ll further explain the alt code shortcut for the up-pointing triangle symbol.

Method #2: Typing an Up-pointing triangle symbol/emoji on keyboard

Up-pointing triangle symbol Alt Code (Windows)

The Up-pointing triangle sign alt code is 30.

Every symbol in Word has a unique code that you can use to insert the symbol into your document. This code is known as “alt code”.

Below are the steps to type the Up-pointing triangle symbol on your keyboard by using the alt code mentioned above:

• Press the num lock key to enable the numeric keypad. Use Fn key + NumLk keys to turn on Num Lock on laptops without the numeric keypad.
• Press and hold the alt key and type 30 using the numeric keypad.
• After typing the alt code (i.e., 30), release the [Alt] key.

Once you’ll release the alt key, the up-pointing triangle sign will appear in your document.

Method #3: Typing an Up-pointing triangle symbol/emoji on keyboard

How to add triangle symbol in word using insert symbol dialog?

This approach isn’t as straightforward as the shortcut methods. But it’s fairly simple. And once you get the symbol into your document, you can always copy and paste it again when you need it into your document.

Below are the steps to insert the up-pointing triangle symbol in Word using the insert symbol dialog.

• Go to the Insert tab.

• On the insert tab, click the symbol button and choose more symbol…

These few clicks will bring up the symbol dialog box.

• Under the symbol’s tab, in the subset drop-down list, type and select mathematical operators. Now, type 2206 in the character code field. Once you’ll type the character code, you’ll get the up-pointing triangle sign selected.

• Click on the insert button.
• Alternatively, double-clicking on the up-pointing triangle sign will also insert the symbol into your document.
• Click the close button.

This is how you may insert an Up-pointing triangle sign symbol text in Word using the insert symbol dialog.

Method #4: Typing an Up-pointing triangle symbol/emoji on keyboard

Word’s AutoCorrect for the Up-pointing triangle sign/Symbol Text

You can also type the up-pointing triangle symbol text using the autocorrect feature in Word. It is a feature in MS Word designed for correcting spelling mistakes like thsi to this.

Using this autocorrect feature, you can assign a shortcode to the up-pointing triangle sign (such as UPTT). This way, whenever you type the text UPTT, Word will think that you actually wanted to type ▲ and will convert it into the up-pointing triangle sign for you automatically.

• Click add, and then hit the OK button.

Now, word will automatically insert the up-pointing triangle symbol into your document whenever you type UPTT.

Things you should remember before using the autocorrect feature in Word

Below are some things to take into consideration when you are using the autocorrect method to insert the Up-pointing triangle sign.

• Autocorrect is case-sensitive. Meaning if you type uptt (in lowercase), Word will not convert it into the Up-pointing triangle sign unless you type UPTT (in uppercase).
• If there is any text before or after the autocorrect text, Word will consider the autocorrect text as part of the text and hence will not convert it to the right-angle sign. For example, GetUPTT (without space) will not get converted, but Get UPTT (with space) will get converted to Get ▲.

Method #5: Typing an Up-pointing triangle symbol/emoji on keyboard

Copy and paste the up-pointing triangle symbol text

You can simply copy the up-pointing triangle sign given below and paste it into your document.

My favorite method for inserting symbols that I can’t easily type is copy and paste.

With this method, all you need to do is google the symbol you need to type, then copy it from one of the search results provided. Once you get the symbol into your document, you can always recopy and paste it as and when the need arises.

There is another way to copy this and any other symbol on Windows. It involves using the Windows character map.

Obey the steps below to copy and paste any symbol using the character map.

• Search for the character map app by clicking on the start button.

• The character map app will show up in the search results. Click on it to launch.
• After the character map window opens up, click to check the advance view checkbox to expand the window for more advanced options.

• On the advanced view section, type an up-pointing triangle in the search box.

• The symbol you searched for (i.e., the up-pointing triangle) will now appear on the character map. Double click on it to select it. You’ll see that the symbol appears in the characters to copy text box. This allows you to select and copy several symbols at the same time.
• After selecting the symbol, you wish to copy, click on the copy button.
• Switch over to wherever you need the symbol, whether in MS Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, and press Ctrl + V to paste.

This is how you may copy and paste the up-pointing triangle symbol using the character map on Windows.
