Find a diamond, then insert it. If you cannot find it, type Unicode 2666 in the character box and press the insert button.

Step 2: Diamond Alt code

In MS Word, you can insert or type the diamond sign using the alt code. Although it is only applicable for numeric keyboards, you can use it if your laptop has a NumLock key.

4 is the Alt code for black diamond. Hold down the Alt key and then type 4 using the numeric keyboard. It will be transformed into ♦.

Step 3: Copy and Paste

As I discussed in previous posts, this is the first and most straightforward method for inserting any sign in Word and Excel. You can use this to insert the diamond text anywhere on your computer. You can copy it from here and paste it into the appropriate document. To select it, double-click “♦.” Ctrl+C will copy the black diamond sign, and Ctrl+V will paste it.

If you copy it from here, you can save it to your device and use it again later.                        

Step 4: Autocorrect method   

Sometimes autocorrect will automatically correct a letter that you typed incorrectly. Using Microsoft Word’s autocorrect feature, you can employ this method to change any letter into a symbol.

Choose a symbol in Microsoft Word by clicking the insert button. Find the diamond and select it. Check the box for autocorrection. In the Replace box, type “diamongsign,” then click “add” and “save.”

The ” diamongsign” in Microsoft Word is automatically converted to “♦.”
