Special characters using Alt+ on number pad

I frequently use Alt+ numercal keys on the "grey pad" for typing
special characters in programs like Word, Notepad, Wordpad, etc, as
also occasionally on the Internet while posting messages like this
one. E.g., Alt+0147 for the "curved" left double quotation mark.
Suddenly, it is no longer working! For Alt+147, for example, I get /,
the same as for Alt+147 (without the 0 prefix). The "0" key on the
grey pad seems to be working OK because I get 0 typed on hitting it.
Also I can insert the special characters in Word by typing the
corresponding (Unicode?) hexadecimal number, selecting it, and hitting
"Alt+X". This seems to work in this post also (Test 201C, "double left
quotation mark "). However, this method cannot be used in other
programs, like WordPerfect.
Can someone help me get the Alt+(numeral) method working again? Thanks
in advance .
