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?	Tony (4941)

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.	Graham L (2)

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 .	Tony (4941)
