    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.

    ALT Key Codes for Special Characters List


    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

    It does do that, mlee. All buttons have tooltips with the alt code and a description listed in it.

    The masculine ordinal number in Spanish, Italian and Portugese? I'm not even sure what it is for ... lol
