Can you do something similar to get unicode characters? The character map shows U + 00A9 for the copyright symbol, but I don't know how to do that via the keyboard.

I have a font that shows only unicode characters in character map, which is giving me a problem.

Any ideas?

© will come upThe copyright symbol was just an example - what I want to know is how to do that when the only code I have is Unicode, e.g. U + 041A for the Cyrillic capital letter Ka (just another example).

From the heading of the first link, Alt/0/decimal value on the keypad might work ... I can't test it on this laptop. In your copyright symbol U+00A9 example, the hex 00A9 translates to decimal 0265 . Or, perhaps, they are adding a leading 0 which I have put in, so Alt/0265 might work.

702187 2008-09-03 11:05:00 I don't know if I'm getting old or lazy, but it just never occurred me to do a search for the answer . I guess I'm too used to the universal knowledge available on PressF1 . :thumbs:

This link ( . fileformat . info/tip/microsoft/enter_unicode . htm" target="_blank">www . fileformat . info) tells you how to do it . I did the registry hack and tried it, and it works .

The whole point of my original post was that I wanted to be able to do it without knowledge of /access to the decimal value .
