|∑!

Hopefully you can see the characters above, if not, check the image out below. It's the latest in online abbreviations, and it makes sense to me. If it makes sense to you, use it, and get it out there. Let's see if it can take off.

Below are some instructions for how to type it on the computer, if you find other ways and for ot her systems like Linux, please post them!

1. For the vertical bar, |, that's located above the Enter/Return key, usually requiring SHIFT to be pressed at the same time.
2. For the sigma, ∑, on Mac's press OPTION-W.

For the sigma on windows, you'll need to use one of the following methods (not all methods work on all PCs apparantly because its dependent on registry settings, language settings, and the code file thats in the release of Windows you have).

In Windows, hold down ALT, then type the following characters using the sequence below:

• Alt xxx, where xxx is the decimal value of a code point, generates an OEM-encoded character.
• Alt 0xxx, where xxx is the decimal value of a code point, generates a Windows-encoded character.
• Alt +xxxx, where xxxx is the hexadecimal Unicode code point, generates a Unicode-encoded (UTF-16) character.

The following values should, according to the inter-webs, spew out a ∑:

• Alt +03A3
• Alt 228
