Hello,

The Unicode characters are:

2642 for the male symbol ♂

and 2640 for the female symbol ♀

You type 2642 followed immediately by the alt+C combination to get the male symbol.
The same goes for the female symbol.

This only applies to Word!

(In LibreOffice, you can use alt+11 and alt+12 without getting a colored symbol.)

Hello,

In the "general" fonts, the character (ALT+11) does not actually represent gender such as male, but rather astrological esotericism (planet Mars) through what is not a character but a sort of Emoji, and that is why your daughter is mute...

To obtain these characters themselves, one must use a specific font that contains these Unicodes (for example Arial Unicode MS) and in this case either type 2642 ALT+X, or directly select the desired character in the Character Map by searching for U+2642 or by searching for it while specifying the font (Arial Unicode MS), Group by (Unicode Range) and then in the Grouping window scroll down to Symbols and Dingbats.

2641 for female gender.

(Note: I make neither ideology nor degrading comments; strictly speaking, we must use the terms male/female and not man/woman because they are common, along with their symbols, to all animals exhibiting this differentiation.)

Good evening everyone,
To type these symbols, ALT + 1 + 1 (1+2 for female) on the numeric keypad of the keyboard. Works here, on CCM.

♂ and ♀ also work on Open Office (I've just tested).
Best regards!

If the problem is resolved, do not forget:
1: to report it using the

●●●

on the first question.
2: to specify how this problem was solved, it will help others.
Thank you in advance!

Hello,

ALT+1+1 corresponds to pressing ALT+11 and displays the "emoji" in Word, not the character.

Hello everyone,
I would like to clarify that what you are saying here does not apply to OpenOffice (4.1.1). See the screenshot below.
▶ The first line makes a sound, as if we are making an error.
▶ The second one works by pressing 1 on the numeric keypad twice (I don't have 11* except for F11)
▶ The third character is obtained by pressing ALT then 9792.
All this with the font Arial. I haven't tested it with another font.
* Which key are you referring to here?

But we're getting off-topic here, aren't we? "the symbols are yellow and not in simple black font".
So for me, there are no normal characters for these symbols!
Best regards!

Hello everyone,
"And you never get the emoji but rather the characters ♀ or ♂ ": I confirm, in OpenOffice, the only way to write these symbols is the combination of the ALT key followed by pressing 1 on the numeric keypad twice. The other options do not work outside of displaying the character table (Arial in our case).
Best regards!
