How to Insert Symbols and Emoji in PowerPoint

If your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation contains copyrighted material, you may want to indicate that fact by inserting the copyright symbol © onto your slides. Here’s how:

Use the PowerPoint AutoCorrect Keyboard Shortcut

PowerPoint AutoCorrect includes an entry that specifically adds the copyright symbol to a slide. This shortcut is faster to use than the Insert > Symbols menu. To quickly add the copyright symbol to a slide, type (c). This simple keyboard shortcut switches the typed text (c) to the © symbol on a PowerPoint slide.

Add Emoji to PowerPoint 2019, 2016, and 2013

Besides using the small smileys listed under Symbols, newer versions of PowerPoint can install emoji keyboards to gain colorful smileys and symbols that add a splash of fun color to your presentation. To use these, you’ll first need to install an add-in from the Microsoft Store.
