    How to Type Special Characters with ALT Keyboard Sequences

    ALT Key Codes for Special Characters List [​IMG]
    Information Many special characters are available that may not appear on your keyboard. This tutorial will show you how to type special characters using a list of ALT keyboard sequences.

    Did you ever want to, or need to, enter a special character that is not on your keyboard? Like 72° instead of 72 degrees?

    Or £9.99 instead of 9.99 British Pounds? And our EU friends, €19.95 instead of 19.95 Euros? Many more:

    ╛ Å ¾ Ø --- the list goes on.

    This is not a registry hack or system tweak of any kind. It simply uses the built-in character set and the ALT key. This applies only to keyboards with a separate numeric keypad on the right. Simply press and hold the ALT key and enter the numeric code on the keypad. When you let go of the ALT key, the symbol appears.

    Examples: ù = ALT+0249 -- ° = ALT+248 -- £ = ALT+156

    Note Here is a PDF with instructions and a copy of the table below.

    *Arrow Special Characters — Alt Keyboard Sequences.pdf



    To type a special character, using an Alt keyboard sequence:

    1. Press the Num Lock key to activate the numeric key section of the keyboard.

    2. Press and hold the Alt key.

    3. While the Alt key is pressed, type the sequence of numbers (on the numeric keypad) from the Alt code in the table below.

    4. Release the Alt key, and the character will appear.

    Turning off keyboard special characters shortcuts

    How can I turn off special character shortcuts? I prefer using alt-codes.

    Shortcut example:

    When I press ~, it withholds printing the ~ to my screen until I press it again, or press another key which it can form a special character with; ~ and u makes ù.

    Another example: ' and e makes é.

    I don't want this bug, I want whatever key I press to immediately display on my screen and solely rely on alt codes.

    I want a simple way to turn this off, like a checkbox in control panel/keyboard.

    I find it easier to just press the key with 1 on it, instead of Alt+(numpad)49 *Wink

    Thanks for posting the information and the portable doc.

    Every Windows has Charmap in Start | Windows Accessories. It's great if you need a one time character, but not as convenient as learning the few often typed characters such as the ones Dick mentioned.

    If you want to go further with characters, beyond this thread then you should take a peek at Charmap

    These are the ones I use the most...


    To type the degree symbol °, make sure that your keyboard Num Lock is enabled. Press and hold down the Alt Key, then type the numbers 0176using the number pad on the right hand side of your keyboard. Then release the Alt Key and the degree sign ° will appear (NOTE: these features also work in Microsoft Office).

    To type µ (the Greek letter mu), hold down the ALT Key while you press the numbers 0181 and then release the Alt key.

    To type ±, hold down the ALT Key while you type the numbers 0177 and then release the Alt key.

    To type ÷, hold down the ALT Key while you type the numbers 0247 and then release the Alt key.

    To type ×, hold down the ALT Key while you type the numbers 0215 and then release the Alt key.

    To type ∞, hold down the ALT Key while you type the numbers 236 and then release the Alt key.

    To type ≥, hold down the ALT Key while you type the numbers 242 and then release the Alt key.

    To type ≤, hold down the ALT Key while you type the numbers 243 and then release the Alt key.

    There isn't one, but, Shift+F10 is the keyboard shortcut for right click.

    What is the code for Shift F10? Why reproduction of this code with Alt + numerical keypad does not produce the same effect as Right click?

    What about PrintScreen button? What is the code for PrintScreen and can it be reproduced with Alt + numerical keypad?
