Someone please provide me with an answer to this epic question! I've been to the end of the earth and back and still haven't figured it out. I have a Blackberry 8703.

Thanks!

the TradeMark Symbol? like ® ?

[gooodrats]

nah, just the tiny "TM" symbol.

[JSanders]

I don't know. The ® and the © are on the extended character map

[JSanders]

Oh here it is, xxx8482;

But I don't know how you're gonna get it in you BBM name.

[gooodrats]

How do I get to the extended character map?

[gooodrats]

ugh, two of my BBM buddies have it in their name and a friend of theirs did it for them and won't tell them how it's done!

[JSanders]

On your PC keyboard, you just hold down ALT plus a number on the keypad, such as:
Alt + 0162 = ¢
Alt + 0174 = ®
Alt + 0169 = ©
Alt + 0153 = xxx8482;
Alt + 0188 = ¼
Alt + 0189 = ½
Alt + 0190 = ¾

Getting it on your BB... I have no idea. Let me know if you find out.

Oh, don't do it then, tell 'em you think it looks stupid or something.

Email it to yourself and copy+paste?

You can type the xxx8482; on an email and send it to yourself to your phone.
Copy it and paste it to your screen name.

You beat me to it.

[gooodrats]

ahh, getting closer. i have it copied now, but how do i paste it in the screen name window? Is there a shortcut to paste?

[onth]

same as how you copy it, go to the full menu

[gooodrats]

normally when i click the wheel the menu comes up, but when i'm in the screen name window nothing happens...

[onth]

what bbm are you using?

i am not sure about 8703, i am using a pearl, besides the option clicking the pearl to bring up the menu, there is another menu key on my 8100 to bring up the full menu.

What am I doing wrong? When I hold down alt and key those numbers on my laptop-nothing happens

Ok, this is one I can actually help with. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. lol. For the xxx8482; in your blackberry (including the BBM name field) simply hit the T, but hold it down (like you would for a speed dial from the home screen) while holding it scroll your wheel, you will get the xxx8482; as an option. This also works for the © (hold C and scroll the wheel) and the ® (hold R and scroll the wheel.) I've done it from my 8703e, so I promise it works. Have fun.
