    � REPLACEMENT CHARACTER when using Alt-??? for accented characters in Microsoft applications

    The correct code for é is Alt+0233. It works perfectly in Edge.

    � REPLACEMENT CHARACTER when using Alt-??? for accented characters in Microsoft applications

    This character �(REPLACEMENT CHARACTER) appears when I try to use 3 digit alt codes such as Alt-130
    for é in Microsoft applications, e.g. word but not in Microsoft Edge, for example.

    Is there a simple registry adjustment to restore the use of these Alt codes from the ASCII set ?

    Thanks Malcolm

    I get the Replacement character when I use an ALT-code

    Little Alt Code Utility

    I had originally thought of including all of the characters with accents and a lot of other special punctuation, but I was trying to keep the GUI small.
    The intent of this app was for quick characters when forum posting and not a comprehensive list of all the possible alt codes.
    I will give it some thought. Maybe a settings option so the GUI only displays the character sets that you need/want.
