    Alt codes 1-31 not working


    Hello.

    I noticed recently I cant make a smiley face (☺) by pressing alt+1. I tested other codes such as alt+0132 („) and they all work, i noticed only codes 1-31 were affected. I'm using Windows 10 home on an Acer laptop.
    Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    Best regards.

    :)

    Little Alt Code Utility

    It does do that, mlee. All buttons have tooltips with the alt code and a description listed in it.

    The masculine ordinal number in Spanish, Italian and Portugese? I'm not even sure what it is for ... lol

    No Alt codes working

    Hello airfixalex,

    To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

    • Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:
    1. Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
    2. Click OK.
    • Were there any recent changes made prior to this issue?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • Does the issue happens to all applications?
    • Please check if the NumLock is turn on. Also, try using another keyboard and check if the Alt codes are working.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.

    No Alt codes working

    I've found that no alt codes appear to be working using either left or right alt keys. I tried a few things suggested by an answer to a similar question ( ALT Codes Not Working
    ) which has made absolutely no difference.

    Other than Alt codes the alt buttons both work normally, likewise with the numpad.
