    Unicodes and language packs


    I'm sure a lot of people share my dilemma. The Unicodes I am wanting to use, range from U+1000 to U+109F (plus two extended ranges, AA60–AA7F and A9E0–A9FF). The Burmese (Myanmar) language pack makes the majority of these characters easy to access, but I'm wanting some that aren't.

    What other options do I have, other than typing "U+1061 Alt-X" to enter these missing codes?

    Notepad

    Are you making the notes in English?

    If not, then make sure you have downloaded the language pack for the language you are using.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/14236/...

    Also when you save the file save it as Unicode.

    Basically do this.

    File - Save As

    Bottom right beside the Save button change the Encoding to Unicode and Save.

    Several work arounds can be found at http://www.johndcook.com/blog/2008/0...rs-in-windows/
    • as I suggested above, U+(hexcode) Alt-X
    • edit a registry key and hold down the Alt key while entering the code on the numeric keypad
    • download the free utility called UnicodeInput, which pops up with the Alt-+ key
    None of these are useful on my Surface Pro virtual keyboard which is missing both the Alt key numeric keypad *Sad

    If you're inclined to work through the issue, tools exist to build your own keyboard to match the unique characters you are looking for.

    see keyman by Tavultesoft

    Hope this has been of help to someone

    Cheers
