To insert GD&T symbols into Word, take note of the codes in the table below.
There are two types of symbols below.
Some are alt codes (ALT+248) and some are Unicode characters (25B1 then ALT+X).
Alt codes are entered by holding the ALT key and pressing the number code. Unicode characters are entered by typing the code and then holding the ALT key and pressing X.
How to insert GD&T symbols into a Microsoft Excel document
Not all the codes listed below will work in Excel.

SURFACE FINISH SYMBOL
Hi Jeffery,
Thanks for pointing this one out. Unfortunately, there isn’t a perfect match available. However, I did add a check mark along with the micro symbol to bridge the gap. Close enough for government work I hope.
Cheers,
Brandon
What about a True Position Symbol?
Never mind I overlooked it. Sorry
Profile of a line symbol?
Adam,
I added that one to the list. Thanks for pointing it out. The symbol looks a little different so if you want something a little closer, you could also try 25EO – ALT+X. I prefer to use the regular alt codes myself whenever I can.
Thanks again,
Brandon
what about depth symbol?
Dave,
Added it just for you! I also updated some of the other codes so that more of them use the standard alt codes which I find easier to use.
Hope this helps,
Brandon
Centerline symbol?
Kay,
Added it. That is not one that I have often used. Just not as common in my industry I suppose. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thank you for making this available. It is very helpfull.
Great list! I have added some of these to my word document. The only one I really use different is ⌢ for profile of a line. Thanks for putting this together.
