How to Type a Music Note on Picnik Text
The Picnik image-editing application includes a text tool that can add custom text to images. You can also use the text tool to add special symbols such as music notes. Type music notes in Picnik or other applications using "Alt" key codes with your keyboard's number pad. "Alt" key codes allow you to type special characters that don't appear on your keyboard in any application that supports them. You can position, resize and customize the color of your music note after adding it.
