Wavy is also proposed to be printed in a text document using the built-in editor options. Consider the process of translating ideas into reality on the example of the "Word".

In this situation, the user must act in accordance with this instruction:

1. Move the cursor over the inscription "Insert" (the button is located at the top of the text editor dialog box).
2. Click the left mouse button. A small list will appear on the display.
3. Select the line "Symbol".
4. Find the studied sign. Sometimes it’s not so easy to do.
5. Double-click on the corresponding picture in the "Vord" symbol plate.

What's next? Once the character is inserted, you can close the activated option. It is done.

Codes and keyboard

Wavy equal on the keyboard can not be found. Buttons with the corresponding symbol are simply not present on any keyboard panel. But everyone can print the aforementioned sign with a special digital code.

This is done in this way:

1. Open a text document. It is advisable to immediately place the cursor where you want to place the "approximately equal" symbol.
2. Press the Num Lock button. It is worth making sure that this mode is activated on the PC.
3. Clamp the Alt. It doesn’t matter which side.
4. Dial 8776 on the digital panel on the right side of the keyboard.

As soon as the user completes the set of code "cipher", it will be replaced by a wavy equal. You can release the keys and continue working with a text document.

Unicode and keyboard

But that is not all. Sometimes users prefer to use not the keyboard shortcuts with Alt, but "Unicode". In this case, you will need to print a special combination of letters and numbers in the text, the processing of which will lead to the replacement of the "word" with a symbol. The main problem is finding the right combination.

In our case, it is recommended to take the following actions:

1. Log in to your text document, while positioning the cursor at the intended location for setting the wavy equal.
2. Type code 2248.
3. Click on "Alt" and the X button (English).

That's all. After that, the “Wavy Equal” sign will be installed in the place of the digital code.
