How do I make a "null sign?"
I am trying to make a "null sign" in Word and cannot figure out how to do it?
I am familiar with inserting symbols but cannot seem to find that particular symbol. |

By definition a "null sign" does not exist.
There is a symbol which looks like ... N U L ... which is U+2400 (press and hold Alt while you type 9216 - or in recent versions of Word type 2400 and press Alt+X) -- Enjoy, Tony "Simon Jones [MSDL]" schreef in bericht ...

Hi Tony,
The NUL character is from a completely different field, telecommunications (along with characters such as ACK and BEL). While a "null symbol" may not literally exist, there is a symbol for the mathematical concept of a "null set" or "empty set". It's in the Arial Unicode MS font as character 2205. And, contrary to Ed G's statement earlier, it is not a zero with a vertical slash, it's a circle with a diagonal slash. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Hi Jay,
I didn't think of the empty set symbol which is easily got with the Equation editor (in 2007 anyway). I seem to have some sort of problem with the group as I don't see Ed G's reply with that statement ... but ... if I search for messages from Ed G it comes up so now I'm sure you've found the symbol he's after. I don't have time to investigate right now. -- Enjoy, Tony "Jay Freedman" schreef in bericht ...

Answer: How do I make a "null sign?"
Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcut "Alt+2205" (hold down the Alt key and type "2205" on the numeric keypad) to insert the null sign symbol.
