    Notepad won't accept ASCII characters when typed in

    Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

    Looks like it is a problem with the Notepad app, this problem was identified by a Microsoft agent in this thread and the problem was already reported. You can see more information at this link.

    Until this problem was fixed you can use a third-party app like Notepad++, I have tested and the ASCII character is working normally on this app.

    Cannot type alt characters into Notepad

    Since you changed Notepad on us to v. 11.2112.32.0, I can no longer type alt characters (those where you hold down the alt key and use the numeric keypad, such as –, —, é, ). Seems to be a really major omission to disallow basic, common characters like that. How can we enter these now? Is there a setting that we can hit?
