Windows 10: Problem with Unicode Typing

Hello,I recently installed Windows 11 on my PC. I installed a software called "Avro" which allows me to write in my native language, Bangla. It is a free Unicode and ANSI compliant Bengali keyboard interface for Windows. The problem is that when I try to write something in Bangla, it types the wrong letter. Suppose I want to write "আমার সোনার বাংলা" , it types "।/১২ ৩৳৫৬৭ ৮৯০-=ক" which is totally irrelevant. I am facing the issue only in my browser Edge, Chrome and not in other Windows programs like Notepad, MS Word, Excel, etc. I tried changing my browser's font to any Unicode font, but it

Type a Unicode Character

You can convert numbers from decimal to hex to octal to binary. But those are the numbers used as Unicode code points. They're the "serial numbers" for characters.

But the alt codes are a different. They're not related to the Unicode code points. There is no numerical conversion from Unicode codes to alt codes.

Alt codes predate Unicode by a decade or so. Alt codes are just arbitrary numbers that Microsoft assigned. So you have to look up the key codes. Do a google search to find a complete list.

 

How to type unicode characters in Windows 10?


I haven't the right keyboard available on my laptop, so I can't test this, but the way we used to do it was:

1. Press and hold down the Alt key.
2. Press the + (plus) key on the numeric keypad.
3. Type the hexidecimal unicode value.
4. Release the Alt key.

This comes from:

Which leads on to this small utility:

UnicodeInput - a utility to enter Unicode characters on Microsoft Windows

Which I also cannot test.

In Microsoft Word,there must be numerous published macros for handling Unicode - some will be better than others - just go to:

for loads of links.

I do not have Opera.

In Word you do this. Note that 8592 is the decimal equivalent of $2190

• Activate NumLock
• Hold down the Alt key
• Tap these numbers on the keypad one after the other: 08592
• Release the Alt key

In Notepad you do this.

• Activate NumLock
• Hold down the Alt key
• Tap the + and these numbers on the keypad one after the other: +2192
• Release the Alt key

Other applications might use different methods.
