How To Insert A Symbol For Feet And Inches In MS-word?

The symbols used for foot or “ft” and inches or “in” are just found on your keyboard. If you want to insert the symbol used for these two metric units in Microsoft Office Word, you don’t need to use the “Symbol” section of the application. For foot (ft), the symbol used is the single quote (‘). For the inches (in), the symbol used is the double quote (“).

Both are found on your keyboard that’s why you don’t need to insert a symbol because it’s just a button away. For example, if you want to write “5 ft 8 in” in symbols, you can have 5’ 8”.

The foot is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is abbreviated as “ft” and called “feet” in plural form. One foot (1 ft) is equivalent to twelve inches (12 in) and three feet (3 ft) is equivalent to one yard (1 yd).
