Re: Alt Plus codes

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



You can't easily download them all and, depending on your setup, many of
them may not display on your computer - or may not display in all fonts.

You can use Alt + any number which is the decimal equivalent of a unicode
code point. See http://www.unicode.org/charts/ for a complete listing of all
standard ones but note that the charts there give code points in hexadecimal
so you will need to convert them to decimal to use with Alt and the numeric
keypad (if you have a recent version of Word you can type the hex value and
then press Alt+X to convert it to a character as an alternative method of
input). Note that certain code points are reserved for private use and do
not have fixed characters - the various symbols in the Symbol, Wingdings,
etc. fonts fall into this category. Although I suspect it won't concern you,
note also that some (Far East) characters require two code points - so
called surrogate pairs.
