  1. 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

    1. Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.

    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.
