Is there a way to type the medical symbols for left side & right side of the body? The symbols are the capital letter L or R, with a circle around it. I have attempted to find it on the alt symbols pages, but cannot find it. I have seen it entered using a keyboard, but I cannot seem to find it.

How to enter any Unicode character in Microsoft Windows? (Full description in my another answer.) There's an universal method - Alt++U

This method works regardless of any of your language settings, but is the most cumbersome to type:

  1. Press and hold down the Alt key.
  2. Press the + (plus key on the numeric keypad).
  3. Type the hexidecimal unicode value.
  4. Release the Alt key.

Alas, this appears to require the following registry setting:

reg query "HKEY_Current_User\Control Panel\Input Method" -v EnableHexNumpad

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method
    EnableHexNumpad    REG_SZ    1

If you don't have above registry setting already then use the following command from an open cmd prompt or from Run dialogue (WinKey+R):

reg add "HKEY_Current_User\Control Panel\Input Method" -v EnableHexNumpad -t REG_SZ -d "1" -f
