It's usually considered impolite to ask your question in the subject (it

scrolls off the end of the field on narrow form displays making it hard to

read).

Anyway, the key is to use the Alt key (either Right or Left), use only the

number pad (not the numbers on the main keyboard), and prefix the 3-digit

code with a zero. For example, to print the copyright symbol © (in fonts

that support it), press Alt+0169 where 169 is the ANSI code for it.

It doesn't matter if it's the right or left <Alt>key. What does

matter is that you enter 4 numbers from the number keypad...

i.e. for the char. ® enter 0174

Actually, you can use 3 or 4 numbers, and in certain cases (probably all

those>128) it will alter the character that appears.

Alt+174 -->«

Alt+0174 -->®
